Saturday, November 16, 2024

Your customer's ignition system is the "heartbeat" of their engine. Are you the "heart doctor" needing to diagnose problems quickly and accurately? Your father's "big box" engine analyzer may be obsolete on vehicles with C.O.P. (Coil on Plug) ignition systems. However, the advanced diagnostics it provided in its day can be duplicated with some practical methods you may be overlooking. In this intermediate-advanced course, we'll cover:

• Spark Systems - Ignition Circuit Review
• C.O.P.'s of Every Variety - 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire
• Meters and Bench Testing: What Can We Still Do?
• C.O.P. Diagnostic Feedback Circuits
• Scoping Voltage and Current: The "EKG and MRI" of Ignition Testing
• Misfire Madness: Remembering the Simple Things That Steal the Spark
