The internal combustion engine has never been as efficient as it is today. Modern engines utilize complex onboard monitoring systems to ensure that all systems function as intended by a vehicle’s manufacturer. These systems feature many different sensors and a … Read more
Today’s vehicles are relatively intricate in nature, especially when one considers the vast array of individual parts and components that they come equipped with. The advent of onboard diagnostic equipment has opened a number of doors and presented many new … Read more
As the sun begins to set on a late afternoon drive, the inherent value of a vehicle’s headlights becomes blatantly obvious. Without properly functioning headlights, a commute under the cover of darkness is not only hazardous but outright impossible. Luckily, … Read more
Imagine, for a second, that you are cruising along in your vehicle with not a care in the world. Then, as you come to a stop at an intersection, you notice something odd. Suddenly, your vehicle shudders at random, signaling … Read more
A vehicle’s engine is a precision piece of equipment, engineered to operate within precise tolerances, both in terms of temperature, and lubricity. Sustained operation outside of these strict tolerances can quickly cause irreversible damage to an engine’s internal components, thereby … Read more
Today’s vehicles feature an array of individual components intended to minimize the environmental impacts associated with internal combustion engine operation. Each of these components serves a specified role, in a greater bid to minimize carbon emissions as a whole. However, … Read more
During the early 1970s, the EPA and other environmental agencies began efforts to curtail noxious emissions presented by internal combustion engine operations. Such efforts involved the introduction of evaporative emissions systems, designed to burn gasoline-related vapor that is naturally purged … Read more
More often than not, motorists think of their engines as the motivating force behind their vehicles’ operation. While it is true that a vehicle’s engine produces the necessary output, a transmission is required to direct this output to a vehicle’s … Read more
Few things will ruin an otherwise peaceful commute quite like the sudden and unexpected illumination of your vehicle’s check engine light. Such circumstances often lead one to feel aggravated, if not completely bewildered, as the thought of costly repairs to … Read more
Today’s vehicles are nothing short of engineering marvels. These vehicles sustain efficient operation through the communication of several distinct modules, each of which monitors a host of feedback at an ever-constant rate. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that … Read more
