EEC tester questions......

Will a EEC tester, the 35 dollar cheapo unit, diagnose a bad spark plug wire?

Thanks

get an analog voltmeter and get the codes from that. Better yet, use that meter to test the continuity of your spark plug wires!

Yes, the $35 EEC tester has a "clylinder balance" test funtion that will tell you if one cylinder is weaker than the others, which could possibly be from a bad plug wire.

This works with SEFI engines, like the Mustang, but won't work on MPI engines, like most other Fords.

Take care,
