Re: P1166 fuel deviation is this a rare EMF case? PLEASE HEL

Hello RYM6746, Don't we just love those intermittent faults?! Great you managed to capture the rail pressure heading skyward and then obviously the engine will prevent too much pressure and cut the engine. Can I just confirm that in you capture we see the engine being cranked at 1m9secs on the secon...

Re: compression test - no vacuum event

Hello Kudugar, Thank you for posting and what you are seeing is as Liviu has said, you're not seeing a change in pressure during the intake stroke as the throttle butterfly is open. If you wish to see more detail from the intake stroke you could trying restricting the inlet opening. This will preven...

Re: Hello from Aberdeenshire

Hello BGB, Great to hear that the roadshow has given you the confidence to get the scope out of the cupboard! Thanks for coming along. Was good to see so many different people varying from those that have never seen a PicoScope to those who use PicoScope in their day to day routine. Rest assured we ...

Re: 2012 Peugeot Boxer abs fault

Hello Lloyd, Sorry for the late reply on this one. With regards to Peugeot wiring diagrams colours is something you wouldn't want to take much notice off. PSA have a habit of mixing their colours up so at one end of a plug you might have a blue wire but at the other end it would have magically turne...

Re: Bosch LSU strange result

Hello Victor, I believe from what you have described you do indeed have a Bosch 4.9 LSU. I believe the Bosch part number for these is 0 258 017 025. The 4.2 guided test will not give you correct results from this sensor and it is one that is being worked on at the moment and hopefully we can get thi...

Re: Auto Stop If Signal failure

Hello Simon, This is indeed something we can set up. We tend to use Mask's and Alarms which are some of the more advanced features of PicoScope but can be vital when trying to capture glitches like the ones you are seeing. Initally we would have to set up a mask around a channel that is fixed while ...

Re: How to create a custom probe for a rail pressure sensor.

Hi Kim, Once again thank you for this invaluable work you have carried out and no doubt the custom probe you have created will be downloaded many times. I guess there is value in knowing what the pressure is as this is normally what the scan tool will deliver on the screen. If you measured directly ...

Re: VW 3,2 L V6 CAM/CRK vs OBD-Tool

Hi Terbo, Not had a chance to properly analyse but one of things that I've noticed is the crankshaft sensor seems to be different. The missing teeth on the vehicle you have the concern with starts low and finishes high, yet the one from the waveform library is the other way around, starting high and...
