Do you use this often?

Just wondering if you guys are looking for a multimeter and how many of you out there actually know how to use one? (I ment to use it to dyno your engine)

Is this worth it to you? http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1708006382&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=1015203162&indexURL=0&rd=1

you cant use a multimeter to dyno your engine.

Yes, you can run all sorts of tests to tune your engine with a multimeter. Why do you think all those functions are there for?

Dyno's test HP. Multimeters test voltages, current, and resistance. Multimeters are very important for testing your wires/wiring, fuses, batteries, resistors, etc...I got mine from Radio Shack for about $50, but I only needed the basic functions, so I opted for the cheaper line of multimeters.

you find a multi--meter that will dyno your engine...let me know. it would save TONS of cash on dyno time..heheheheheh....

Yep. The one on ebay that Tofuboy there is a special automotive version, and it will also measure RPM with an inductive pickup off one of the spark plug leads. A nice feature. I have an older analog meter in my garage that does the same thing.

But it's not a dynamometer.
:cool:
