SenX Technology Introduces New Automotive Engine Diagnostic Sensor --Saves Time and Money

Midland, MI -- April 23, 2003 -- Diagnosing automotive engine problems can now be done faster, easier and more accurately with the new FirstLook™ Automotive Engine Diagnostic Sensor. SenX Technology announces the immediate availability of FirstLook™ Model ADS ES 100 which enables a mechanic to quickly display a complete picture of core engine performance without major engine disassembly. When used in combination with most modern dual trace digital storage lab scopes, problems with burned valves and bad injectors and other core engine performance issues may be identified quickly and easily.

John L. Brock, SenX Technology President, comments "With the new FirstLook™ sensor it is now possible to take 'the pulse of your engine' and see what is actually happening in the basic engine. Problems can now be identified within minutes rather than hours, and with the engine being cranked or running. It eliminates a lot of time consuming and intrusive tests."

The FirstLook™ sensor is unique because it detects the air stream pulse waves in either the exhaust or vacuum side of the engine, and the fuel flow pulses from the fuel rail. All engines produce a predictable pattern of these pulses and once detected by the FirstLook™ sensor, may be readily captured and displayed for analysis. Any change or irregularity in this predictable pattern can then be traced back to specific engine problems.

In typical use, the FirstLook™ sensor is either placed in the exhaust pipe or attached to a vacuum port and then connected to a standard dual trace lab scope. The display shows in real time the valve, cylinder and injector activity in any two or four stroke, gasoline or diesel internal combustion engine. By displaying timing triggers on the scope, observed malfunctions may be pinpointed to specific cylinders. The ability to identify the specific cylinders where valve or injector problems are occurring greatly reduces the time and expense required for ultimate problem resolution.
