Jerry's V12 Coilpack tester in Norcal

Hell Gang,

My 2007 S65 throwing up random misfires. After resets its settle on CYL 4 - but occasionally throws multiple. The problem started with turbo hissing every time I accelerated. Turns out the Y adapter for turbo at the intake came loose.

Before going out and buying new coil packs - wanted to test to see if the issue is coil pack related or evap/emissions related.

Does anyone have this tester:

I am in bay area but dont mind traveling upto Sacto. I also goto Socal but needs more planning.

If you go to V12ICPACK.com there is a guy named Clark that rents out "tester" packs for a very reasonable price and he is in California.

You overlooked the fact that they also upgrade them while they're being repaired. I've read that they never fail again.

I am in norcal and spoke to Clark - he can swap/rent out the packs - but not a bench tester. I was trying to get the tester from Jerry but he is no longer making them. I am now trying to build one by reverse engineering (work already done by Jerry and Clark). I reached out to both on two signal values I need but havent heard.
