 In part two, I presented some tools and equipment which, for the most part, were just off the beaten path in terms of common tools for the DIY automotive enthusiast/mechanic these days. I'd like to continue in that general direction by showing you some of the tools I've built for myself.

More test equipment and tools for the 944.

In part one, I discussed ways to make connections to the 944 engine for troubleshooting and diagnostics. This time I will go over some of the other tools and equipment I've found helpful when diagnosing issues and performing service on Gretchen.

In order to effectively troubleshoot an issue, you not only have to take a logical and methodical approach, you also have to be able to physically connect test equipment to discover what is and what isn't working. And if you can't do that, correctly finding the fault is made way more difficult that it has to be. So with that in mind, I'd like to show you some of the special test leads, equipment and other tools I've built, adapted, or otherwise found to be useful while troubleshooting and working on Gretchen.
