Electronic Ignition Spark Tester - OTC Tools and Equipment

The OTC 7230 Electronic Ignition Spark Tester is an indispensable diagnostic tool engineered for professional technicians and mechanics to quickly identify ignition system faults. This robust tester provides a reliable, visual indication of spark presence, significantly streamlining the troubleshooting process for no-start conditions in modern vehicles. Its straightforward operation allows for rapid assessment of an engine's ignition capability, ensuring efficient workflow in demanding workshop environments.

Key Features

• Efficient Ignition System Diagnostics: Rapidly confirms spark delivery, aiding in the swift diagnosis of electronic ignition system malfunctions.
• Pre-Set .250" Spark Gap: Provides a consistent and appropriate spark gap for accurately testing the output strength of electronic ignition systems.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Constructed to withstand the rigors of daily use in automotive and industrial settings.
• Designed for Modern Ignition Systems: Optimized for compatibility with electronic ignition, Distributorless Ignition Systems (DIS), and Electronic Distributorless Ignition Systems (EDIS).
• Simple Operation: Connects directly into the spark plug wire, simplifying the process of checking for ignition spark.

Applications

The 7230 spark tester is crucial for a range of diagnostic scenarios. It is primarily used for efficiently troubleshooting no-start vehicles by quickly determining if the electronic ignition system is generating sufficient spark. For vehicles equipped with DIS or EDIS, employing two OTC 7230 testers simultaneously allows technicians to verify spark output from individual coil packs, enabling precise fault isolation within these complex systems. While highly effective for electronic ignitions, this tester is not recommended for point-type ignition systems, which may not generate enough voltage to jump the preset wide gap.
