GTC505m Engine Ignition Analyzer
Finding dead or malfunctioning coils and plugs can be hard work. The GTC505 makes ignition troubleshooting quick, easy, and painless. It’ll help you, and the people depending on you, get moving again!
The GTC505 is the product of 20 years of work (by GTC) on ignition diagnostics. This tool will tell you exactly what’s going on with any spark ignition system as soon as you put its sensor by your coil (or spark plug wire). Swapping coils and other components in and out until you figure out what’s wrong is slow, tedious, and wasteful. The GTC505 will take the guesswork out, so you can be confident that the problem will be solved on your first try.

FAQ
What is the difference between the GTC505, the GTC505m, and the GTC014?
The GTC505 is an engine ignition analyzer. The most basic kit it comes in: with a flexible probe, extension cable, cop sensor, spw sensor, USB micro cable and AC charger adapter, user’s manual, 1 year warranty, and hard padded carrying case.
The GTC505m is an upgraded version of the GTC505 kit – it comes with everything in the GTC505 kit, but with the GTC014 accessory, and a larger hard padded carrying case to accommodate the extra accessory.
The GTC014 can be purchased separately (here), or together with the analyzer in the GCT505m kit.
