Advanced Ignition Diagnostics
In-person Training with James Wilson
Presented by: AutoZone


Your customer’s ignition system is the ‘heartbeat’ of their engine. Are you the ‘heart doctor’ that you need to be to diagnose problems quickly and accurately? Your father’s ‘big box’ engine analyzer may be obsolete on vehicles with C.O.P. (Coil On Plug) ignition systems but the advanced diagnostics it provided in its day can be easily replicated with some practical methods you may be overlooking. In this intermediate-advanced course we’ll cover:

• Spark Systems – Ignition Circuit Review
• C.O.P.s of Every Variety; 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire
• Meters and Bench Testing; What Can We Still Do?
• C.O.P. Diagnostic Feedback Circuits
• Scoping Voltage and Current; The “EKG and MRI” of Ignition Testing
• Misfire Madness: Remembering the Simple Things That Steal the Spark
