Turbocharging: Managing Pressure In The PCV System
Crankcase vapors are routed through the positive crankcase valve (PCV). The PCV valve is a simple spring-loaded valve with a sliding pintle inside. The system allows the vapors to be siphoned into the engine using engine vacuum.
Connecting With Hybrids: 12 Volt Battery Systems
Why do hybrids even have a 12 volt battery when the car is already equipped with a high-voltage battery? Those of you with hybrid experience know the answer, but many techs have stayed away from hybrids and have little to no knowledge on the subject. Today we have plug-in cars, both pure electric and plug-ins
Speed Density Systems Performance Reliability For Modern Engines
Modern engine technology is changing our Âconcept of how we increase engine torque and fuel economy.
Understanding Collision Warning & Automatic Braking Systems
Anything that moves under its own power also has to stop, so brakes have been a safety feature on cars since day one. Over the years, technical innovations such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) have improved the ability to stop with minimal skidding on wet or slick surfaces. The addition of stability control allowed each
Next Generation Start/Stop Systems
Although stop/start idle Âsystems have been used on Âhybrid vehicles for many years, a growing number of non-Âhybrid late-model import models are also being equipped with this fuel-saving technology.
