Secondary voltage patterns, beside one another:
Evaluation of ignition voltage peaks at idle speed (this example shows an engine with 4 cylinders).
NOTE:
The display of ignition voltage spikes is approx. 20-25% lower than the real value.
The uniformity of all cylinders to each other is more important than the height of ignition voltage peaks. Differences of 3000... 4000 V are permitted.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
