Misfire Monitor
A system that detects irregular combustion in engine cylinders.
The misfire monitor measures crankshaft speed variations to identify incomplete combustion events. Persistent misfires increase emissions and can damage catalytic converters. Causes include ignition faults, fuel issues, or vacuum leaks. Live misfire data helps pinpoint the affected cylinder. Early detection prevents costly repairs and ensures optimal performance. Regular tune-ups minimize misfire risks.
