Pressure Sensors for Automotive Oscilloscope

The sensor is meant for recording the forms of pressure pulsations in the intake manifold, crankcase ventilation system or engine exhaust system. This allows estimating alignment accuracy of the value train, defining if the clearance between the piston and cylinder wall is excessive, checking cylinder balance as well as detecting misfiring in the cylinder without taking an engine apart.

The sensor measures cylinder compression, intake manifold vacuum, back pressure. All these measurements can be made in one hit. These parameters allow detecting airflows from the combustion chamber, as well as determining the working phases of the valve timing. It is also possible to carry out measurements in other engine systems, within the working range of the sensor, such as fuel system, lubrication and cooling systems.

Applicable when it is impossible to directly install the PS16 pressure sensor in the spark plug hole. The rigid compression tube allows measurements in deep plug wells.

It is used when it is not possible to screw the PS16 pressure sensor directly into the spark plug hole. The flexible extension allows measurements in the ignition plug wells, which are difficult to access because of an intake manifold or other engine parts.

Used to install the PS16 pressure sensor in the spark plug hole with the M12 thread.

Used to install the PS16 pressure sensor in the spark plug hole with the tapered seat. Often found on Mazda, Ford engines.

The sensor measures pressure in the intake and exhaust manifolds as well as compression and pressure in the combustion chamber, while the diesel engine is on. These parameters allow detecting airflows from the combustion chamber as well as determining valve timing of the valve train and fuel system. It is also possible to carry out measurements in other engine systems, within the working range of the sensor, such as fuel system, lubrication and cooling systems.
