What would be nice is a wiring harness that connected to various places on the engine with a line output that plugged into a laptop. Then a piece of software that took these engine outputs a displayed them graphically and let you tune the engine scientifically .I have seen machines, engine analyzers, in garages.
Is there PC software that simulates these engine analyzers?

Well we could measure spark plug firing, dwell, and FI pulse width using only inductors. Also MPS ohms to the brain. I would like to be able to watch the car run :-)

I'd be intrested too.
very intrested.
it could even be expanded to allow for fault diagnosing (with many real sensitive inductors)...
injector #1 bad....
Great, 10,000 new problems.

thats all we'd need. Boot up the software..
"Welcome"
"You've got engine problems"
"4 New Valve Problems"
"Goodbye"

A fatal exception 0E has occurred at clutch in throwout bearing inner race. The current trip to 7-Eleven will be terminated.
* Press any pedal to terminate the current drive. * Press IGN+CLTH+GAS to restart your car. You will lose any unsaved ignition in all applications.
Turn key to off position to continue cursing
The thought has bounced around the inside of my head for a few years for something like this.
I was thinking about a upgrade to the D-Jet or L-Jet injection tester. Just build an adapter that fits between the computer and the harness, and sends a serial data output to a laptop. Diagnostic software would have to be written to read the data and display each component's function. Add some data logging capability. Then take the car out and drive it around with the diagnostic connector installed and the laptop running.
Come back to the shop and run through the log on the GUI interface.
