sNeec engine monitoring

[LithiumCobalt]

Anyone familiar with this interface and software? Seems like it would be invaluable in diagnosing problems being able to see realtime feedback.

Saw it advertised on the old fordfuelinjection.com website.

If you want to spend the cash for that level of data. I can do the same thing with an oscilloscope or multimeter and backprobing harnesses... though it takes more know-how to do such stuff.

Might be kind of hard to do that while driving the car down the road, though.... If you can do that, I'd like to watch. I wouldn't mind learning how to do things the manual way, but I don't have an oscilloscope either. Multimeter....check.

Interesting. Is the project dead though? Looks like the page where you would order says they're having problems with the manufacturing and they don't know when it will be able to build another batch. The page looks ancient so I don't know when the last update was...

2 long wires that peek out from under the hood and go in the door by the weather seal... set meter on dash and go.

I would totally drive down the road with an oscilloscope on the dash. One channel to monitor whatever sensor, then another connected to the stereo.

I don't own extension cords long enough to do that effectively. Not all of us have small DC powerable scopes you know There is also no practical way to datalog stuff from a scope or meter unless you own fantypant storage scopes. For the average human, a device that will record sensor outputs in actual values vs raw voltages is a lot more user friendly. I have done the driving around with a series of meters on the dashboard trick before, but it pretty much sucks.

Truth, but the option is there and I have done it once. Prefer the monitoring stuff though.
