Thinking about buying an automotive oscilloscope
Anyone here using an automotive oscilloscope for diagnostics? We run into ignition issues, sensor glitches, and occasional CAN problems, and I’m getting tired of guessing based on live data only. Never owned a scope before, so I’m not sure how steep the learning curve is or whether it really speeds up troubleshooting. Worth investing in one?

Automotive oscilloscopes can really change the way you diagnose electrical and sensor-related issues, especially when live data isn’t enough. Having the ability to see the actual waveform makes it much easier to catch intermittent faults, timing problems, or distorted signals from crank and cam sensors. For those who want to get into scope diagnostics without struggling with unclear instructions or missing accessories, ECUTools offers oscilloscopes that come with proper documentation and well-selected accessory kits, which makes the learning curve far smoother. Their sets usually include the probes and leads you need to get started, so you don’t have to hunt for compatible parts. More details here https://ecutools.eu/
