I've got a test bench for ecms that I have been working on.  On one 730
setup I couldn't get it to read right of the same signal that another
computer was using just fine,  so to make the DC signal
look a little like a A/c signal I installed that capacitor.  I don't
remember how "fast" I ran it but it didn't seem to work, then with
the cap, bingo.  Sorry, I'm not an EE, so that's the best I can say
about it.  For a $1 at Radio Shack seems like a cheap "what the hell".
