I want to be able to see individual cylinders and all 8 at the same time to see what that looks like. Plus I’m detecting a slight misfire in one of the cylinders but no CEL. So I want to learn how to do that. Thanks

Looking at one cylinder would be fairly easy with either a secondary probe, or with primary voltage. There's some great ideas for making your own secondary probe here:

Looking at all eight will be a lot harder.
I've also heard of people laying a long piece of foil tape across one bank of cylinders and connecting a scope channel to it. :huh: Never tried it before, but it may be worth a shot.

The other COP flags may of be of use, though. You'd have to add a couple of these to look at all eight cylinders:

You can also look at these COP 'sticks':

Lastly, you'd need this kit, specifically the banana jack to RCA adapter:

I probably would. :lol: Or make your own and experiment! A lot cheaper, plus you can customize it to your needs. I get way more use out of my homebrew probes than the ones I purchased.
