Throttle is power. A vital vehicle function, without it functioning correctly, you will either travel too fast or not at all. Since the invention of the car, throttle systems haven’t evolved much. The core of a throttle body still revolves around a valve that lets air into the intake. The only change is the introduction […]
No one likes seeing the check engine light, especially when a fault code related to the engine appears. The P0013 check engine light code points in the direction of the Variable Valve Timing solenoid, which is one of the most essential parts that keep the engine running smoothly and efficiently. This particular code is specific […]
The car’s fuel system can be looked at as a lifeline that provides the engine with its blood — fuel. Give it too much, it will flood, give it too little, and it will starve. The P0001 check engine light code is related to an issue in the fuel system, more specifically, with the fuel […]
Modern cars are built for efficiency. Everything in your vehicle is optimized to the best of the manufacturer’s ability in order to extract more performance from the system, all while keeping the costs down. Variable valve timing was introduced to give engines more flexibility. With this system, the ECU can adjust the power delivery of […]
If we ignore a very brief period of automotive history, we find that most cars are made with efficiency in mind. Getting the most performance out of the motor has always been the name of the game. That task would be impossible without an efficient cooling system and by extension an effective radiator cooling fan. […]
Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. Regular oil changes and proper lubrication can extend the life of your engine. The opposite of that can mean catastrophe for you and your vehicle. Your oil pressure sensor notifies your ECU when the oil pressure is too low or high. This prevents the worst of scenarios, but […]
Variable valve timing. VTEC, VVTI and VANOS — we’ve all heard these terms thrown around by mechanics for decades. Simply put, these systems all adjust the cam timing to improve how your engine functions. However, we know as car owners that introducing more complexity means more components that can fail. The P0021 is the check […]
Most vehicles use a form of variable cam timing. Toyota has VVT, Honda has VTEC, and BMW VANOS, to name a few. These systems offer a range of benefits, from better fuel economy, performance, and smooth throttle curves. For these systems to work, the ECU needs to know the crankshaft position (engine speed). To that […]
Modern cars are full of fail-safe systems put in place to protect the car, but also save the driver from accidentally doing something that would impact the car’s ability to drive. The starter relay is one such device that is found in vehicles that have an automatic transmission. When this relay fails or experiences a […]
