Re: Opel Corsa D Z12XEP no start
Thank you Liviu for sharing this one. Like there are not enough variables to deal with, here we have non OE parts introducing more curved balls! The extra dip at the missing teeth looks to comply with the "crossing point" set within the ECU and so be counted as a tooth! (See the solid red line below...

Re: One waveform One picture
We often discuss “non-intrusive” measurement techniques during the initial phase of engine diagnosis. The results obtained inevitably lead onto the next level of intrusion in order to provide further “direction” or hopefully a conclusion Cam and crank correlation tests may be considered “next level ...

Re: Low current measurements with a BNC+ high current clamp
Hello and thank you for the post At present there are no plans for a BNC+ version of the TA189, but its a great suggestion as the clamp jaws are huge and remove the need for battery disconnection and the installation of a link lead for parasitic drain tests I will add your suggestion as a new featur...

Re: H20 pressure transducer
Hello David and thank you for the feedback I am going to stick with your initial post regarding the measuring/capture of intake and exhaust pulses From an initial (non-intrusive) diagnostic point of view, the formation, uniformity, timing & correlation of such pulses is predominately our main concer...

EV's don't go wrong
I find it interesting how things are starting to unfold with EV’s as Ben and I become more and more involved with EV & Hybrid case studies. Thanks to Pico we periodically attend such problematic vehicles that lend themselves perfect to case studies Whilst we have worked with EV’s at dealer level, on...

Re: One waveform One picture
Whilst we often measure for the presence of voltage to determine “control signals” or sensor outputs, it never ceases to amaze me just how much information is contained with a single current measurement. Measuring current provides an indication of “effort” or “work done” and the ability of the circu...
