buzz & contribution test

I got one of those scan gauges, its the interceptor aeroforce. How do you do a buzz & contribution test? I read their manual and gone through the settings on the gauge but can't find it. Thanks

Glenn, it's located under MENU -> CONTROLS
I think you need ver 2.7 user manual on instructions ...

http://www.aeroforcetech.com/files/I...AL_rev_2_7.pdf

Controls. On GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles this option will take you to
another submenu where you will have bi-directional controls. On the Chrysler
a low and high speed fan control function is available. Simply select the fan
speed desired with key on, engine off, and the fan will turn on. Turning the
fan off is done the same way. On GM, fan control, fuel trim reset, and CASE
(Crank Angle Sensor Error) re-learn is available. This last function is needed
when a new PCM is installed in a vehicle. In order to execute any of these
controls, you first select the process, which places an asterisk next to it. Then
exit the screen either by scrolling to and selecting “Exit” or hitting both
buttons simultaneously. This last step will execute the command. In most
cases you’ll then go to another screen where you will find further steps if
necessary to complete the process. For Ford Power Stroke diesel, the Injector
Buzz and Cylinder Contribution tests are available. Select the appropriate test
which place an asterisk next to it, then select exit. Follow the on-screen
instructions and once completed you will see the results on the display. P0111
means system pass. To exit after test completed hit the right button to go back
to the main menu.

non stock injectors generally fail too from what I understand.
My injectors failed on 2 or 3 cylinders. and my truck runs just fine.

Cuda jim, I think this is what he meant, said something about doing it going 70 down the highway.

I'm not going to condone that one though, I dont want to miss quote him.
