Title: pico cylinder balance
Post by Blue_Heisenberg on Mar 9^th, 2015 at 2:07pm

I've just got a second hand pico and tried out the cylinder balance misfire check on a known good car, it showed good figures as expected, but when I lift a coil to induce a misfire the software screen then flashes and the graph charts crashes, any ideas?
Thanks.

What version of the software are you using?

I think it's the latest version, I downloaded it about 2 Or 3 weeks ago.

I'll see if I can get a chance to replicate the condition today. Were you hooked up to the battery or alternator?

I tried both, just wondering if its because the coil pack spark was going through the block causing a disruption in the volatge ripple.
