Re: Hyundai Santa Fe' Timing waveform

If that Maf reading at idle is with no egr command then your Maf is knackered or a blocked inlet, also a knackered Maf would cause premature blocking and/or inacurrate dpf load values. My instinct is your Maf has fell over. If you are wondering why I keep going on about air mass value their is some ...

automatic battery setup

just a idea, could a database be programmed into pico diagnostics battery test so when you have a battery type "063" or "075" it automatically sets up the cca and Ah figures, these can be found in any battery book and i would have thought they would be a good idea as some batteries dont state on the...

Re: Hyundai Santa Fe' Timing waveform

Sorry buddy, I meant what's the reading of the air mass at idle on a scantool. Worth scopeing also.

Re: Hyundai Santa Fe' Timing waveform

Can you measure the air mass at idle(mg/str) with no egr(either by blanking off or by scantool). I think your air mass reading is too low, was the inlet ports cleaned with the head off?

Re: Hyundai Santa Fe' Timing waveform

Your air mass reading, is that with egr not operating. If that is the reading is too low, I would expect around 550mg/str with no egr.

Re: WPS Compression Hoses

The normal m14 hose is fine for the zetec(yamaha or Mazda type), I've never had a problem yet.

Re: Diesel injector pintle move capture

as far as i can tell you cant see the pintle movement of a diesel injector as the solenoid is not attached to the mechanical side of the injector, it releases pressure.

Re: south america new member

Hello Serch, welcome. For which kit to buy, you cant go wrong with anything "pico automotive" branded onto it. I would strongly recommend (as i believe others here will agree) that the 4423 automotive kit whether standard or advanced it contains pretty much all you need, probe leads, amp clamps (60a...

Re: 2 12 volt batteries, 24 volt battery test

I'm guessing 24v is for the heavy goods market.
