Can I test if Galaxy 2001 V6 24v coil on each plug is firing on all plugs?
In simple terms it is used to measure the power your engine will apply to your wheels to make them turn. BUT, that is only 1 aspect of performance. For example, 150 BHP is fantastic in a motorcycle but utterly useless in a truck. And vice versa, a truck engine may produce 100's of BHP but it won't break any speed records.
