Are there any pocket diesel tachometers that you can use to set the idle???

If I am reading the question correctly, this unit will do it; does not depend on any external source (like spark plugs). Just affix a full or part reflective strip to a rotating part and go to town.

If you can put a reflective sticker on whatever is spinning this baby will work. It isn't too large, not sure if you would call it pocket sized. It isn't something I would want to carry in my pocket all day. Works great and accurate. Hope that this helps.

check in programming section some models it can be wired in to work with diesel the settings need to be set in

Yes! actually its a great tool for measuring if you motor is actually working normally. You can get an RPM reading in seconds...

Hi, In the software you must go to the settings tab on the left side, and then under pid setup on the top menu you must click auto configure to scan for supported PIDS and select the supproted PIDS you want to look at (a PID is the particular piece of information, such as RPM, Throttle Position, etc) The message you are seeing is indicating you have not selected any pids. Please use the above process to configure your software. You can also follow the guide for the software here: http://www.scantool.net/obdwiz/ Thank you and we do hope this solves the issues you are having! Regards, Brian Tuner Tools LLC

My application was for a John Deere 322 garden tractor and I did not have a tachometer available nor did I care as long as it passed my test. I installed the alternator and at fast idle I obtained unregulated voltage of 30+ volts and better than a 20 amp current. This was plenty for charging my battery.

Nowhere in the manual can I find a low oil shutdown feature. Nor on the engine itself.

i put one on my f250 diesel truck and one on my jeep rubicon. they sit for months but fire up when asked!

I have tried this and other bluetooth products with my '99 F350 Powerstroke ... and it will kill the engine, stone cold and throw a temporary cel.I too was hoping to read some useful values (like trans fluid temp) but diesels were'nt fully OBD-2 until 2004 and there are some serious conflicts.

I don't have a diesel but my manual lists a a Diesel Timer - Wait to Start option/15, 30, and 45 seconds. This is from the user guide: In diesel vehicles, the engine starts when the WAIT-TO-START indicator on the vehicle's dash goes out or the programmed delay has ended.

The jato have two idle screw one for idle speed and one for engine power you must not have yours turned up the engine idle screw control your jato speed

the 40420 is a tuner/chip (changes timing, air-to-fuel ratio, and such) and monitor for diesel trucks (see list to make sure it works with yours), the 40402 is just a monitor w/no performance enhancers

Not your idle. Why would you want to change your idle. There are different settings for different cars.

Just did a install on a diesel there is a wire to connect to the wait to start light then following that you can set it to start immediately or wait up to 20 seconds for it to start. Works well on my 7.3 idi

yes, it gives you the option to do so. but when I did to the exact size, my oddometer was no longer accurate (off by around 5mph)... so gotta play with it a bit.

Any car with a OBDII port, that's 1996 and NEWER have the port someplace. Any scanner these days can read the Generic OBDII Engine codes!!! There are also Enhanced OBDII codes that are more Specific for GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc that a cheap Scanner can't read, well some do kind of. Of course there's also ABS, AirBag, Heating

I did not observe different rpm or engine dB leve at idle but I was not watching for it either. None mentioned in the Manual or Specs.

No! Its not meant for fuel to run through it. Like others have said it will read poorly at the lower pressures normal vehicles run at. I actually had an Oriley employee suggest doing the same on my F350 diesel. Lets just say I bought a tester there, had him do it and promptly refund my money as it didnt work as he thought ;-)
