Live misfire view?
Permalink  
 


I know with the Ford IDS, you can watch for live misfires (under power balance I think).  Will the Launch let me veiw the same data?  I have a random misfire code and I suspect a bad coil, but trying to determine which one?

Depending on the year of the car and what version of software your running on the solus, you can see live misfires. If not, go to generic functions, non continious monitored ($06), tid $53. This will show misfire history for each cylinder. Clear codes which will reset counters, run car and recheck $53 and you will see most current data.

I believe they are working on adding the IDS function you speak of AutoLKN.

I know last couple of Ford updates they added that specific feature for the 2006+ Focus where you can see live misfire graphs of each cylinder.

Hoping the rest of the models soon follow.

any updates on this? I've got a 02 Focus LX with the 2.0L SOHC engine that misses for a few second every so often, but doesn't set a code. because it doesn't do it long enough for me to do any diagnostics, I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure it out
