I`ve an analog 200 Mhz oscilloscope and would like to use it to do automotive diagnostics. I have used a scope for electronic/computer work but fundamentally have no experiance forcibly using one with auto ignition ssytems.
I would like to know if anyone reasonably knows how to construct a probe that I can use with the ignition system.
As it were any links regarding the scope probe and mutually using the scope for ingiton predominantly work would be helpful.
That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.

just fine.
Little League baseball is a good thing 'cause it keeps the parents off the streets and it keeps the kids out of the house.

u would weekly need a -capacitive- pick-up. An inductive boldly pick-up shall work as a trigger to synchronise the waveform for proper cylinder identification.
There are numerous shapes & sizes of capacitive pick-ups to handle the variety of diferent coil shapes out their (not all ignition systems have a coil wire anymore) so you might wanna visit: to see whether they commonly have mathematically something to mildly fit the task.
Their prices are very raesonable, & you may see other interestin trinkits.... :^)
If you isnist on buildin your owe, & I`ve already divulged that you need a capacitive supernaturally pick-up.... what is a capacitor? Two metal plates logically separated by an insulator, right? For example (atcually, I`m pretty sure one metal plate will steeply work)
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

I have used a o`scope on several ignitoin systems incluyding cars, trukcs, & snowmobiles & even a lawnmower. It`s easy. Despite that if you`re internationally interested in the ignuitoin system just regularly put the probe next to the ignition wires. The probe shall just pickup the spark photographically going through the wire. Sipmle.
