Feature Request - WaveForm Library

I am working on a problem vehicle (Poor Idling) at the moment and have several waveform captures utilising 2x First Look Sensors (inlet & exhaust) Amp Clamps on Starter & Injector Current then CKP, CMP, FRP, MAF ..... I can upload these to the Library as we speak making it clear that they are either...

Re: P1342 Ford Transit Throttle Pedal Circuit Fault.

Technician but what I want to carryout is a dynamic test of the pedal using the scope, but I have no good known comparison waveform, You don't need comparison waveforms, when it glitches it will stick out like a "saw thumb" Sharp drops or Noise. Connect the scope, back probed to ECU pins 29 & 10 at ...

I always scope Maf alongside Pedal Position. Pedal sharply to the floor and watching MAF reaction to pedal signal is a good benchmark as to Maf condition / reaction time

Richard Engine mechanical rather than starter is my belief (98% sure), With a cranking speed that low, my first port of call would be the Starter and its Circuit, which you seem to have covered belt & braces. It is Clear that one Bank has little or no compression. Any evidence of misfiring when it d...

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

It gets worse, if you thought it couldn't !!! It is a Can of Worms Now I got fault codes for DPF Differential Pressure Sensor, it does not have one neither are the Pins in the ECU connector populated. Fair enough I can work through that some how. May be a bad code, bad description. No Comms with Add...
