Hi guys, hope eveyrone is having a good Sunday.
I picked up an Innova multimeter to measure dwell on the cars. Not sure what is normal behavior but it has a reading BEFORE I connected it to anything, meaning when I turned it on it was reading around 90 despite NOT being connected to anything. When I connected it to the car (red to - coil terminal and black to ground) I got a steady 69.5 reading. The 69.5 reading is a bit high but in the right range, but not sure how much I trust it given that I would have thought the meter would read zero when it was powered on but not connected to a signal. Anyone have a digital meter they use that could confirm normal/expected behavior of these things? Thanks! |
