Lisle Corporation’s Coil-On-Plug Spark Tester (P/N 20700) provides an easy way to check ignition systems with coil-on plugs.

Applications include Ford, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Nissan and more.

It is the quickest way to test for no-start conditions. Because there are no plug wires, an inductive test cannot be performed.

High-visibility white lettering makes it easy to read the gap measurement from 0 to 40k. The round knob provides easy gap adjustment and the 12” ground wire comes with a shielded clip.

The standard plug wire tip can be unscrewed so the tester can be used on small engines and some motorcycles.

Detecting Misfire And Knock Conditions

Knock sensors are mounted on the block near the base of the cylinder head.

The knock sensor is a piezoelectric accelerometer that acts as a microphone on the engine. It converts vibrations into alternating current (AC) signal. When the crystal inside the sensor is vibrated, it produces an AC voltage. The greater the vibration or shock, the higher the voltage and frequency.
