Renting is not effective for such an inexpensive tool. I would buy a good unit, w/ an inductive pickup. I have one that I paid less than $50, that I've had for 20+ yrs.

Timing light w/ inductive pickup has another good use besides settting the timing. When you have a miss, move the inductive pickup to each spark plug wire and fire the strobe light. If light does not fire or fires intermittently, that wire is connected to the defective cylinder; bad wire, plug, valve, or other mechanical fault.

Try the following link or your favorite.

good luck

The engine doesn't have to run for you to pull the codes.
