In the Blue Crank pattern there are obvious Gaps in the wave form, 2 of these are eaqual t...

Re: Switching two cylinder running

When I can get back to it I will set that up, Just to confirm, You want it set at 5 second or 2 second per division, Car not running, then press "Capture" then Start car & Idle for 1 capture, What is the highest capture rate I can set?

Re: Switching two cylinder running

yes sorry about the 2/ms time base, when I set that scope up I did not really have time, so next will be better, to the cam & crank with 2 injectors, do you think the cam & crank could be out of sync ? can you tell me where tdc is on the crank paten & where it is on the cam sensor paten?
