            "A really great tool, it not only picks up on
            misfires but even things you can't feel that just affect
            one cylinder like slightly dirty injectors." --

Misfiring CylinderThe ACE Misfire Detective Solution:
  • No more guessing which cylinder is causing the problem
  • Identify misfires by cylinder on all gasoline engines by simply pressing a button
  • Save time in repairing rough engine problems by diagnosing the root cause of misfires
  • Save costs in repairing engine misfire problems: no more swapping parts and hoping for the best
  • Identify even partial misfires — helping to sell and justify the benefits of fuel injector cleaning
  • Save time diagnosing quivering engine idle problems by quickly determining whether a drivability issue is coming from a misfire or engine mounts.

At times even the ECM can’t detect the misfire so relying on scan tool data is not always the solution. Thompson Auto Labs have developed a proven system that cures this headache. No more guessing which cylinder is causing the problem.

Finally, A.C.E. software opens another view into the combustion chamber and provides the answers that you need. To find a misfire, just follow these four steps:

Name that misfire in four steps!

  1. Just start the A.C.E software on your computer.
  2. Select the manufacturer and engine type.
  3. Connect one lead to an ignition reference for #1 cylinder and connect the other lead to the FirstLook™ sensor in the tailpipe.
  4. Click Start. It's that simple!

How it works

ACE software analyzes the exhaust pulse train to identify the lower than normal pulses coming from the exhaust stroke of a misfiring cylinder.

Updates can be downloaded from the internet at startup. 

 What you need

ACE Misfire does not require any complicated equipment: an A/D converter to digitize the exhaust train, an inductive pick-up, and a FirstLook Diagnostic Sensor. All of these are included in the ACE Detective Kit .  

Find misfires fast

With ACE Misfire Detective you can save time locating misfires. The ACE Misfire software will effortlessly detect even the slightest misfires no matter how elusive they may be to conventional detection methods.

The ACE Misfire software can also be used as a preventive maintenance tool that can show you when the injectors need to be cleaned and even print a report of before and after results that you can give to your customers.
