Jaguar Inc. in conjunction with Lucas USA, is pleased to announce the availability of a new revolutionary electronic ignition analyzer. The Lucas Electronic Ignition Analyzer has been developed to diagnose malfunctions in 4, 6, 8 and 12 cylinder induction discharge and constant energy systems as fitted to Jaguar vehicles. It will test not only Lucas units but also induction discharge in any other vehicles inducing Toyota, Datsun, VW, Audi, Fiat, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, etc.
One of the many unique features of the Lucas Electronic Ignition analyzer is that it can be used to test intermittent ignition problems while driving the vehicle on the road. The unit will store the failure information which can be played back as needed. This feature eliminates the guesswork and expense of fitting an amplifier "just in case". Complete hook-up takes just a minute by following the complete instructions printed on the top of the tester itself.
With the hundreds of thousands of vehicles equipped with inductive discharge systems and constant energy units on the road in the US and Canada, there will be many opportunities to use the Lucas tester. The use of the proper equipment will greatly reduce owner dissatisfaction with the often unnecessary cost of amplifier replacement. Use of proper equipment will also reduce dealer cost when "No Fault Found" amplifier units are returned. In the future, a debit will be raised for "No Fault Found" units during the vehicle warranty period. This tester is considered to be minimum dealer requirement equipment for all warranty work.
