The measurement capabilities of this analyzer were se-
lected to serve the diagnostic needs of the professional
automotive service technician. Because of the com-
plexity and variety of the tests, the user must refer to
the vehicle specific diagnostic manuals to be assured
that correct conclusions are reached. This manual is
limited to describing the features of the analyzer and its
application requirements.
INTRODUCTION
The Engine Analyzer is a time saving instrument for
troubleshooting automotive ignition, fuel injection and
electrical power systems. It provides computer controlled
measurements that are usually only found on diagnostic
ʻscopes. Measurement methods have been engineered
to reduce hookup effort and give speedy test results.
The analyzer is designed for use on 2,3,4,5,6,8,10 and
12 cylinder as well as 2 and 3 rotor, distributor ignition, 2
and 4 stroke, 12 volt automotive engines.
It has a large LCD display with 2 lines of 24 characters
showing numbers, words and symbols. All test keys dis-
play related multiple simultaneous measurements.
Diagnostic messages are given when the analyzer de-
tects combinations of signals which suggest an engine
defect.
A built-in printer records the screen being shown or
prints the data saved from tests. The printout is format-
ted to make easy before-and-after repair comparisons.
Print options include a vehicle identification form, and
a vehicle equipment visual checklist report to help give
complete repair information to the vehicle owner.
For time-efficient testing, an Auto-Test Sequence leads
the user through all of the tests for a complete printed
test report.
Test leads include a Timing-Advance Strobe Light, an
Inductive Amps Probe, an Inductive Spark Pickup, a 2
clip signal lead set, a power lead set, and an extension
harness, each of which are plug-in field replaceable.

It can be hazardous to operate both a moving car and
the analyzer. Get someone to drive the car while you
read the display.
