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.

Fuel Trims

To gain a better perspective on fuel trims, think about how “analog” vehicles dealt with changing fuel and air mixtures.

The modern engine measures two things extremely well — the amount of air going into the combustion chamber with the mass airflow (MAF) sensor, and the byproducts that are generated by the combustion event with the oxygen sensor. These measurements allow the engine’s computer to put the right amount of fuel and spark into the cylinder to provide the most efficient and cleanest combustion event.
