Using vacuum waveforms is the quickest testing procedure to determine if a problem is mechanical. It is no wonder that vacuum waveform testing is included on the ASE tests. If you need to improve your waveform knowledge before taking an exam, this program is for you. AVI and instructor Bill Fulton will show you how to obtain the patterns, what to look for, what vacuum readings tell you and much more.
Bill explains what peak vacuum is and how to use peak vacuum and vacuum transducers for diagnostics. He shows you how to compare cylinder bank to cylinder bank using vacuum waveforms and how to do cylinder leak down tests. Bill also reveals four things you MUST KNOW for cranking compression tests and tips on compression testing with your scope.
This program shows you how to use dynamic compression testing and testing procedures using idle compression. Bill explains how oil leaks affect engine performance and provides case studies for cam sensor and crank sensor diagnostics. This class will give you the information you need to help you pass the ASE tests and use vacuum waveforms as a testing procedure.
