Digital Timing Light for Petrol and Diesel Engines

The Digital Timing Light for Petrol and Diesel Engines is a multifunctional diagnostic tool designed for accurate ignition and engine timing analysis. The electronic timing advance function allows precise adjustment and visualization of timing marks, making it especially useful for engines without angle markings on the crankshaft pulley.

The integrated digital system with a large 7-segment display provides clear and accurate readings of multiple engine parameters including RPM, dwell angle and voltage values.

The device can also be used for diesel engine injection timing diagnostics through a piezo sensor mounted directly on the diesel injection line.

Its multiple measurement functions make it suitable for workshops, engine tuning and maintenance applications.

  • Maintenance and repair work

Safety information:

• Always switch off ignition before connecting or disconnecting the tester.
• Avoid contact with ignition system components while the engine is running.
• Ignition systems generate dangerous high voltage.
• Exercise caution around hot engine components and rotating parts.

Diesel Injection Timing & Fuel System Diagnostics

• Suitable for most 12V and 24V diesel engines.
• Uses a high-sensitivity Piezo sensor unit to detect fuel injection pressure pulses directly from injector lines.
• Piezo clamp compatible with 6–10 mm injection lines.
• Maximum operating speed: 2,000 RPM.

Allows accurate measurement of:

• Fuel injection timing
• Injection pump operation
• Injection advance
• Fuel system condition
• Timing synchronization

Correct injection timing provides:

• Better fuel efficiency
• Smooth engine operation
• Reduced emissions
• Improved starting performance
• Maximum engine power output

Helps diagnose common diesel problems:

• Hard starting (cold or hot engine)
• Engine failing to start
• Rough idle operation
• Excessive fuel consumption
• Reduced engine performance
• Black exhaust smoke
• White or grey exhaust smoke
• Engine knocking
