 Using insulated pliers, disconnect a plug
wire (or install a spark tester before
startup)
 The open circuit should cause one firing
line to rise to maximum coil output

Cylinder Balance Test
 Measures the power output from each
of the engine’s cylinders
 The analyzer kills the spark of a
selected cylinder, allowing the
technician to observe and compare the
rpm drop

Cranking Balance Test
 Checks the engine’s mechanical
condition
 Measures how much current is drawn
by the starter motor as each cylinder
goes through its compression stroke

pressure
