- [INSTANT NON-INVASIVE ENGINE DIAGNOSIS] Pinpoint engine misfires, rough idling, hard starts, and ignition coil failures without removing parts. This ignition coil tester detects electromagnetic signals in seconds—saving technicians and DIYers hours of teardown time and costly diagnostic fees
- [WIDE VEHICLE & COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY] This coil tester is designed to test a wide range of ignition and electromagnetic components, including traditional coil packs, COP (Coil-on-Plug) ignition systems, spark plugs, fuel injectors, solenoid valves, relays, generators, cooling fans, and other automotive components. This portable coil pack tester is ideal for cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, marine engines, and other small engines
- [CLEAR LED & HIGH-DECIBEL AUDIO ALARM] The inline spark tester tool features synchronous LED light flashing and sharp beeping audio feedback. Rapid flash and consistent sound confirm active power and smooth signal generation; no response pinpoints shorted, open, or defective components effortlessly
- [INDEPENDENT LED WORK LIGHT] Spark plug tester equipped with a dedicated front LED headlight to illuminate pitch-black engine bays and under-dash electronics. Easily locate hidden test points and tight spaces without needing to hold a separate flashlight
- [RUGGED DESIGN & TOOL-FREE BATTERY SWAP] Ignition coil tester built with high-impact ABS housing and an integrated pocket clip to withstand harsh auto shop environments. Upgraded quick-release battery compartment allows tool-free AAA battery swaps in seconds. Includes 2x AAA batteries & Quick Diagnostic Guide for immediate use out of the box
- Durable Material: This car ignition tester is made of plastic. Plastic materials have good impact resistance. Ignition testers made of these materials are more resistant to external shocks and vibrations, thus ensuring that they will work properly under daily use. Plastic material has a lower density and lighter mass, which makes the car ignition tester easy to carry and operate.
- Size Information: The dimensions of this car ignition tester are 8.27 x 4.33 x 1.18 inches, thus ensuring that it is both portable and flexible enough to maneuver in a variety of tight engine compartments. With the help of this tester, you will be able to easily understand whether there is any malfunction in your car's electronic components, it quickly provides you with clear and unambiguous feedback through precise testing and diagnosis.
- Wide Applicability: This automotive ignition tester is versatile and suitable for ignition coils (conventional coils, dual spark coils, single spark coils), generators, blowers, combination solenoids, exhaust gas control valves, injectors, relays, etc. The beeping sound of the MST-101 indicates that the component under test is normal and not damaged, shorted or disconnected. Conversely, no beeps during the test indicate a bad component.
- Practical Function: This automotive MST-101 tester uses advanced technology to capture and analyze signals under non-disassembled automotive electrical components. Without disassembling the car components, the test pen will collect and analyze the signals and display the test results through the LED indicator and buzzer, which can easily detect whether there is any fault in the car's electronic components.
- Convenient to Use: This car ignition tester is simple and easy to use. First of all, you should find the correct position of the positive and negative battery terminals and push the button to push it out. Next, you need to install the battery and cover it, and then press the button to open it. Finally, you just need to turn on the power and press the blue button to find the trouble spot.
- The Coil On Plug (COP) Quick Ignition tester is a battery-operated, hand-held quick tester and it is designed to easily and quickly determine if a COP is producing a proper spark for the plug
- The quick tester works by receiving a signal from the secondary ignition coil; Once the signal is received, the tester determines if the COP is producing the correct amount of voltage and the duration of the arc; If the voltage is correct, the tester beeps and the red LED light flashes; and if the duration of the arc is correct, the green LED will also flash
- Package Dimensions: 9.37 inch L x 3.86 inch W x 1.42 inch H
