Spent $150 on a cheap timing light and it died after 3 jobs
Picked up a no-name timing light off Amazon last month to do my buddy's Ford Ranger. Worked fine on the first two cars but on the third job, the inductive pickup just quit reading. I had to borrow my neighbor's Innova to finish the job. Anyone else had bad luck with those budget timing lights?

Right? Mine crapped out before I even got the timing light to the truck.

Kept fighting with mine @noah_chen17 for like an hour before I gave up and tried a different approach. Ended up taking the old sensor off and cleaning the contacts with some alcohol wipes, then let it dry completely before putting it back in. After that, it fired right up and held timing steady. No idea why the crap buildup was causing that issue, but it was a total game changer for me. Might be worth a shot if you still have the old parts lying around lmao.
