Do you know how to read the scope trace for the voltage ?

I have got my battery on charge again and will have another play about tomorrow,
I did not check for voltage with the scope , I used a voltage meter to test for the voltage

Try test a aa battery
Try test a 9 volt battery
Try test the car battery
Watch the trace jump up and down from the 0 line to 1.5 ish/ 9ish/ 12ish . figure out the VOLTS/DIV **** vs the vertical scale .
Then reread the flywheel sensor for voltage with the scope .

I think so but it is baffling , I definately got nothing on the multimeter .
I definately got something on the scope,
maybe its the earth at 47 thats got the problem, I will spend some time with it tomorrow .I kept testing the multimeter on the other live pins just to make sure it was definately functioning correctly.

When a scope and a multimeter disagree , go with the scope .
"I think so but it is baffling"
For the trace to jump up , voltage , there must be . The trace will not go up or down without voltage .

Hi
Still a bit stumped here, had a guy take a look taday and he says it could be the hall sensor, the wires to the sensor do look a bit dodgy.
My question is will the hall sensor stop the spark

Thank you thats what i thought.
I have read that the hall sensor will not allow the car to start, so i take it a faulty sensor will still spark but not start is this correct ?
Thanks

Not correct! Bad info. The Hall sensor is ONLY used for sequential injection and knock control.
The engine will start and run without this sensor.

I had someone test this for me when I was diagnosing my fauty DME.
The cars will run without the hall sensor. (search my name & dme for the thread)
