In vehicles with automatic transmissions, a metal disc called a flexplate, connects the crankshaft to the torque converter. So, a flexplate, as the name implies, serves as a flex-shock device; between the torque converter and […]
Your engine needs proper ignition timing, to ignite the fuel, at exactly the right time. But, what happens if, the ignition system fires, at the wrong time. Consequently, the fuel-and-air mixture, will not be burned […]
Disconnecting a car battery for any reason, may cause unexpected things to happen. So, before you disconnect a car battery, there are things you need to know. Above all, battery voltage, must be maintained to the […]
So, the fuel pump relay, is activated, whenever the ignition is turned on. Consequently, the primary function of the fuel pump relay, is to maintain a steady voltage supply, to the fuel pump. Therefore, when switched on, […]
All spark plugs wear out as they age and at some point, will cause spark plug problems. Because, after enduring abuse for thousands of miles, you really can’t expect them, to last forever. Good spark […]
The, (O2) Oxygen Sensor, measures the difference, between the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas. And, the amount of oxygen in air. So, with that information and other sources, the (ECU) can decide, whether […]
So, a hard starting engine, is not a good sign and can be difficult to diagnose. But, the exact moment in the process of starting, can tell you a lot about, what may be going […]
The function of the ignition coil, is to produce a high voltage, from a low voltage. Because, the high voltage from your ignition coil, is needed to ignite the fuel, and start the engine. So, […]
The starter motor, is what gets your engine running, when you turn the ignition key or push the start button. So, a starter motor, gets a lot of wear during its life. As a result, […]
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensors function, is to monitor the temperature, of the engine’s coolant. So, most engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensors operate, using electrical resistance to measure, the temperature of the coolant. The […]
So, almost all newer vehicles on the road today, use a mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor, measures the volume and density, of the air entering the engine. In addition, it also […]
Spark plug health, on today’s engines is very important, and if ignored, can cause serious problems. So, it stands to reason that, weak or bad spark plugs, are a big cause of concern. Spark plug health […]
