Techpulse: Scope Analysis with Michael Munson

Scope Timing Diagnostics Class: Timing Chain • VVT • Ignition Timing

This class is designed for technicians who already know how to operate a scope and want to learn how to use it for real timing diagnostics.

What You’ll Learn

• How to verify cam and crank correlation
• How to confirm or eliminate timing chain stretch / skipped timing
• How to scope VVT operation and prove phaser movement
• How to identify a stuck or sluggish VVT system
• How to confirm ignition timing events using crank reference

Why This Class Matters
Most techs waste time and money guessing on timing-related codes.
This class teaches you how to prove the problem with waveform evidence an engine.

Best For Diagnosing

• P0016 / P0017 correlation codes
• Rough running / misfires
• No-starts and low power complaints
• VVT performance codes
• Suspected timing chain failures

What You Walk Away With
A repeatable scope method to diagnose timing issues faster, with confidence, and without guesswork.

Automotive Scope Diagnostics Class: Real Testing. Real Answers.
Learn how to use an oscilloscope to diagnose vehicles faster and more accurately than a scan tool alone.
Covers Testing for:

• Ignition coils & misfires
• Fuel injectors & PCM drivers
• Fuel pressure sensors & pump control
• Oxygen sensors (O₂ response testing)
• Crank / cam signals & timing issues
• MAP / TPS / MAF sensor patterns
• Charging system ripple & voltage drop testing
• Cam Bus Diagnostics

Why It Matters
Stop guessing. Stop wasting parts.
Learn waveform testing that proves the problem.
Best For Misfires, lean/rich codes, no-starts, stalling, fuel pressure issues, and electrical faults.
