I really want to verify fuel pressure to but I just have a basic tester.

Does anyone have any recommendations on fuel pressure kits that have good coverage. I would love to get the OTC kit but it's over $400. I wish i would of bought it a few years ago when you could get it for $265. I'm not a professional this is just a hobby for me. I wish I could do it for a living but you can't always chase your dreams.

We were discussing this HERE in another thread.

I'm not saying don't check fuel pressure, but since you said it wouldn't start with an external fuel source, I wouldn't agonize over not being able to check it.

Sounds good! I'm still looking for a known good to match with.

Paul has used the SUR+R kit in a couple videos before, and really seemed to like it. Check out the SD.com link:

I've got the Lisle Master Kit , and I'm pretty happy with it overall. One thing I do miss about the OTC kit is the Schrader valves installed in the hoses - prevents fuel from spilling everywhere when you're taking stuff apart. Not required, but a nice feature.

Thanks for all the help. Where do you guys find you known good waveforms? I would love to have access to IATN but I'm not a professional so I'm pretty sure that's out of the question

I use iATN, but it's down for maintenance at the moment. I know Pico offers a database for use when you own a Pico scope, and Autonerdz has their Picogroup membership, as well.

Found a known good:



For reference, here's your capture, zoomed in:



In the known good, it looks to me like the first 5V pulse of the CMP is supposed to bracket a 5V CKP pulse, and the second CMP pulse is supposed to intersect two CKP pulses. Your capture is definitely off. The first CMP pulse intersects two CKP pulses, and the second CMP pulse brackets a CKP pulse.

Did that make sense? I can clarify further if needed. Anyway, I'd say you've got enough evidence to pull the timing covers and inspect the tone wheels. The belt timing marks may line up, but the tone wheels aren't. :blink: Nice job getting the cam/crank waveform!

I got another known good that shows the relationship a little better for future reference for anyone that may need it in the future
