1. For a car, does this work on only 1 cylinder at a time? 2. Does it have the range so it can this be used in the cockpit while test driving?

One cylinder at a time. The probe needs to be around the spark plug wire of the cylinder you want to test, under the hood.

Sorry only God knows...so far this has worked on only one out of three cars. My advice is spend a little more and get a "real " reader

I never tried it in the car. I was disappointed after using it twice and sent it back for a full refund.

Sorry to say I have no idea. I got it to do a leak down test on a 3 cylinder outboard motor. Kind of new to all this. I know on my little 50HP engine I had to lock down the flywheel so it wouldn't push the cylinders back off of top dead center. It was hard to keep the pistons from moving with a socket and breaker bar with just 30 psi in one cylinder, so I had to lock the flywheel down so I could do the leak test at 90psi.

You're right, but this article has been tested only in my cars are compact cars with 4-cylinder engines 1.6cc, the truth is this is the worst article I could buy on amazon, I thought that being serious stanley brand good, but at this point the computer does not work, damage the battery and adapter 110v to 12v internally.

Depends on the size of the target. I use it for RC cars which are tiny and very close to the ground. In that situation maybe 50 feet. I have not tried it on "real" cars because I'm not sure how people might react if I point this thing at them while they drive by. I haven't had an opportunity to try it that way with a friend.

I only use in cars so you may have to try it and return if doesn't work for you. Really love mine.

I am not the best person to answer this question but I can tell you the thing works. It allows me to breath more easily the method by which it performs this function is beyond me. Allow one more thought, I have been driving since I was 16 and I am now 69 and I still do not understand how the auto actually works however, I do know they both function well!

It has an internal thermostat that is not adjustable (no way to manually set the range). For my oil pan it is great (would also work on a transmission pan). I have never tracked to see how hot it gets, but it will burn your hand if you touch it (ouch). Also, you can put a timer on it, so it will turn on at a certain time for a how long you need it. I have done this when it is not too cold. Hope that helps, Happy New Year.

You can use it in a car, boat, or what ever has wire. There are alligator clips to use with a raw wires in a car. Disconnect the car battery first before using the device. There is a speaker in the receiver and a set of ear buds is also provided. Its a very good set for occasional use. I couldn't believe the price. I had a more expensive Ethernet "toner" at my job but it did the same thing. I used it to trace out my house wiring.

Used it on Kia Optima and Rio, worked well. Both were 4 Cylinder Engines. This tool locks the Dual overhead Cams together to keep timing. If you have dual overhead cams as on a V6 or V8, you would need 2 tools.

Is it only blowing hot air on the driver or passenger side? There is 2 Actuators if I am not mistaken and depending on which one it is will depend on which one to change... I heard a "click" before it started blowing hotter than hades air on the drivers side.

It will work as an hour meter and maybe as a tachometer. These "capacitive pickup" meters are sensitive to pickup from multiple cylinders. I assume that your motor is a 2 stroke 4 cylinder. All cylinders fire every revolution; so there are a total of 4 pulses per revolution (if you pick up all of them). Wrapping the wire around one sparkplug wire may sense 1 pulse per revolution or it may sense more from pickup from other cylinders. When I tried this meter on a Mercury outboard the readings varied intermittently. But I have used them successfully on 1 cyl, 2 cyl, and 4 cyl 4 cycle engines.

I'm assuming you want to run two cars/boats from one transmitter, at two separate times. This pkg comes with one receiver so you will need to have a second 2.4GHz receiver for the second RC car/boat or order one from Amazon that matches the flySky unit. The transmitter and receiver pair when you power them up each time (follow the sequence in the included instructions). There are "trim" dials under the smoked cover and you may need to adjust them each time you switch cars/boats. You just can't run two cars with one controller at the same time...

It works just like your light switch in your house, except this device turns on and off the air flow through the 2 hoses, and it's controlled by the car's computer, it's that simple. Hence there is 1 electrical connector and 2 hoses connected to it.It's been working great, my Check Engine Light has been off since I installed this device.I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more explanation, I do simple maintenance on my cars, trying to save money from paying the shop to do it for simple matters.

I really don"t understand the question. This works on all OBD cars per the current standards. It offers vehichle specific codes and live data, It works on my Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes, Saab, Ford and GMC. It does not address the propriatary stuff in mercedes star system, but for most normal needs, emission errors, sensor, o2, temp, running data, rpm spark advance, load. It does great. It probably won't tell all transmission questions, or certain air bag indicators. This is far better than the many inexpensive ones, and in my opinion, well worth the premium in price. But, you have to be able to understand and interpret what you read.

I suppose it depends on the vehicle and Launch's programing but I have used the misfire data I have not used for some time now but I don't think I will display all the cylinders at the same time the screen is small but for the price its an ok reader I do like the launch X4321 but quite a lot more money but you do get what you pay for, this is mostly just a good code reader with a little extra!
