Hello, can you help with the following waveform captured using your ps settings file?

The vehicle is a 2004 Citroen C3 TU 1400 cc 8 valve engine with intermittent misfires attributed to cylinders 1 and 2
Secondary ignition and injection opertaion are correct
Fuel pressure and fuel quality are good
Valve timing inspection confirms no error, I suspect possible compression issues from sticking valves

Could you analyse the attached waveforms from cylinders 1 and 2?

To run automatic analysis, in the USB Oscilloscope software select menu Analysis => Execute script

1. Your pressure sensor is inaccurate, so received pressure graphs are distorted and the Px script report may not be accurate.
2. When you recorded the signals from the 1st cylinder, you snap the throttle incorrectly - you pressed the accelerator pedal too smoothly. Therefore, here the Px script report is incomplete.
Signals recording from the 2nd cylinder is OK.

PS:
The CSS script is used to determine the causes of the misfires.
You can record signals for the script using the settings file -

Thank you for the feedback.

I will study the results using the PDF file as I am fascinated by the contents in the report for cylinder 2.

The vehicle is now off site but I will try to obtain the crank signal data as soon as possible.

Once again, thank you

On your record, misfires at idle speed are not detected, since the engine was running idle for a short period of time. Please record the signals again, and allow the engine to idle for a longer (up to 1 minute) to manifest the malfunction and capture it on the recording.

PS:
Your ignition spark sensor is very inaccurate.
