I whant to build a kind of tester for myself, for troubleshooting by jumping one a time each cylinder. to insulate and compare cylinders when ignition is OK and not suspected. In fact, that device do the same as pulling sparks-plug wires during engine running, but more safe for the operator and the ignition system , and more easy to do.
In fact, it's a simple box whit 4 wires (one to each cylinder), a big grund wire that connect to the engine,and 4 switchs to cut each cylinder by conecting to the grund . It's for 2-4 cylinders engines.
I'm not sure if its better to jump cylinder by the sparks-plug wires or by the primary of each coil ? I think by the sparks-plug wire i'ts more universal for every engine and easy to do ?
What kind of switch use ? Do a simple 12 volts on/off toggle switch will do the job ? Or the hi voltage (if use on spark plugs wires) will jump the gap directly to the ground side of the switch ?
What di you think about my diagnostic tool ?
