An accelerometer-based probe is magnetically mountable on an internal combustion engine and is coupled to an associated engine analyzer having a CRT display. The probe includes an accelerometer sensor having an axis of sensitivity and is mounted on the engine in a sensing position such that the axis of sensitivity is disposed substantially in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the engine crankshaft and is directed in the direction of rotation of the crankshaft. The sensor generates a waveform signal indicative of the engine vibrations sensed and includes circuitry for selectively amplifying the waveform signal for display on the CRT screen. The waveform signal thus generated provides an indication of relative power contribution by each cylinder of the engine for a power balance determination.
