I too am no expert but I have it on good authoirity that in the finer details of the in cylinder captures are really of no use above 2000rpm.
I took the captures at 4000rpm with loads of time on the screen to see If there was an obvious difference in the peak compressions as it was drawing a block of info across the screen.
I believe there was enough evidence to strip and inspect this car but, after looking at the captures over and over last night I saw no evidence of any of the cylinders not sealing, cold, hot or at 4000rpm.
I would have liked some more play time on this car but me and Craig were both pretty cold, tired and brain dead by the end of the session.
I have got a Rover 214 16v here, that I bought to make some faults and see what effects it had on cylinder pressures.
I have made some faults already like blocked exhaust, introduced an home made EGR system into the inlet manifold and the effects are pretty predictable. I think the WPS is going to be a great tool once I have got my head around it.
I have also noticed that there is a massive difference in peak compression, wether or not the injector is connected or disconnected, but not the way you would think. I will double check my findings on this because it doesn't make logical sense, I will put a post up in technical theories and tips for discussion.
Next week I am going to be altering the Cam timing and causing other unnecessary pain to the rover
I will gladly share my findings with you if you would like
Also if anybody has any ideas on faults I can make on the rover, they would be more than welcomed (no matter how nasty they may be )
Cheers
James
Ps Mark
I will post some of the cranking and idling captures a bit later when I am with my other lap top.
