Knowing how the PCV valve actually works, is the first step in diagnosing a bad or failing one. When your engine is running, thousands of powerful explosions take place, to release the fuel energy. But, […]
First of all, the (PCV) System is the short form or common name, for the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System. So, the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system, is basically a one way passage. And, is […]
Replacing a (PCV) valve, isn’t difficult. But, sometimes accessing it can be a struggle, depending on your vehicle. So, most people don’t realize how important regular maintenance is, on your (PCV) system. And, then only […]
Having to do a vacuum leak repair, is more common than you would think. Quite often a vacuum leak, will disguise itself, as an ignition or fuel problem, that is incorrectly diagnosed. Above all, an […]
Did you know the most common problem, in the (PCV) system, is a plugged up (PCV) valve. Another problem, is a lack of air flow, to carry vapors, away from the crankcase. Because, without air […]
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve, does exactly what the name implies. It circulates, exhaust gas, for a second time. So, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves, do not normally require maintenance. But, they can become […]
The (EGR) valve system, is designed to help minimize, harmful oxides of nitrogen in the air we breath. To help do this, the (EGR) valve allows, a calibrated amount of exhaust gas, to reenter the […]
Reducing fuel cost, is actually quite easy, if you can follow a short list of rules. So, doing one thing differently may not show, any rewards in the beginning. But, as you keep adding the […]
Maintenance is critical in keeping your car running its best, and reducing poor fuel economy. So, how do you combat poor fuel economy. The only way is to follow the recommendations, pointed out, in this […]
So, a loose gas cap is among the many causes, for a (CEL) check engine light to come on. In fact, a loose gas cap, is actually the most common cause, of a (CEL) check […]
Engine Coolant, is a mixture of antifreeze and water, used to collect heat to regulate engine temperature. So, as the temperature outside changes from hot to cold, engine coolant is pumped throughout the cooling system. […]
Crankshaft position sensors (CKP) read ignition timing, the (RPM) signal, and determine engine speed. But, when the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) fails, it stops transmitting the readings. Consequently, the crankshaft position sensors (CKP) readings, contain […]
Today, being an automotive mechanic, means a lot more than just changing oil and replacing belts. So, there are a lot of difficult situations that automotive mechanics face, on a day to day basis. For […]
First, engine piston rings, have one of the most important jobs. Because, they seal the combustion chamber, while dissipating heat. And, they need to ensure that no oil reaches the combustion chamber, while keeping the […]
A dirty or clogged fuel injector, can cause classic engine problems. For instance, a lean misfire, rough idle, hesitation and loss of power. So, it doesn’t take much of a restriction in a fuel injector, […]
