Yea, but it shows live data as it's occurring at the very least. That's what makes it so good. You drive the vehicle bringing it to the misfire load and the app shows cylinder * isn't firing in real time.

Just a thought, are you certain no coolant leaked into any of the spark plug holes? I did this same repair about 6 months ago and had the same symptoms on start up. Tore everything apart multiple times until I realized that a few plug holes had water in them. There wasn't enough to be visible on the coil boots when pulled, but enough to case the issues. Hope you get it running!

YEah, that's a pretty good thought. I vacuumed them out as best I could but it's possible there is still some there.

If you have an air compressor try blowing them out. My vacuum wasn't able to get all of the water either.

It sure does. Just do this:

Click the Graphing button



Select how you'd like it graphed, then the Select X axis Sensors


You have to scroll down to activate these, then hit OK (all sensors/parameters are in alphabetical order)

Yeah, it is a really a cool tool.

I just bought/downloaded Forscan, but I haven't tried it yet. I wanted that for its PATS abilities.

You bet. I don't believe that capability was there when I first got the app, but it updates pretty frequently.... which is something I really really like about it. It stays on top of things.
