Re: Snap on generic COP flag

BNC to BNC Cable with Earth Clamp (TA033)

http://www.maplin.co.uk/search?criteria=Phono+to+bnc

The flag has a male and female phono connection. If I use the pico TA033 lead then the top left one on the maplins site. What do I do with the other side? :?

Re: Citroen C4 P0303

What scanner are you using ? Can you explain how you had all four channels hooked up in the screen shot ? because if they are all on different secondary extension leads (plugs) why do they fall in the same place ?? Were there any tracking signs down the porcelain ? Hi rob I'm using some obd2 softwa...

Re: Citroen C4 P0303

I've been thinking today... On the red trace which is cylinder 3 I remembered hearing a arching noise every now and again coming from the depths of the cylinder head where the spark plug sits. Does the waveform look like it does because the spark is arching from the plugs porsaline to the cylinder h...

Re: Kia scope vs pico

I can say this without feeling smug, as I can remember asking a similar question when I started out on my Pico voyage. Looking back, I feel rather embarrassed. But in reality it demonstrate...

Re: Kia scope vs pico

1 trigger.......1 channel ( selectable on pico ) The Kia scope sounds pants, but surely by adjusting the time base you could have seen the 2 waveforms on 1 screen ? What were the time bases you could select ? Thinking back, I should of been able to get them both on the screen. I didn't really obser...

Re: Kia scope vs pico

Russ How do you mean " 2 triggers at once " ? Could you not have adjusted the time base to see the other event you were after ? I set a trigger on channel 1 to stabilise the number 3 ign. Waveform. My next plan was to set a second trigger on channel 2 on the number 1. But I couldn't do this... Infa...

One scenario was on a petrol cee'd with a blocked fuel injector filter. It was misfiring with a cylinder 3 DTC. STFT was 5% and...
