Re: Strange Current waveform?

Hi Sen Cit I think you are using a2204a scope which is near useless for automotive diagnostics ! an automotive scope gives you the ability to examine the spark firing line in detail [misfires]using experience to determine spark failure, tracking, lean misfire etc a good scan tool and scope plus expe...

Re: Strange Current waveform?

For good interpretation always send live files not screen shots, ch A is injector and looks OK ch B looks like ignition or interference, use channel references and notes to state the situation.
