As car enthusiasts, we love the sound that a gasoline engine creates and the adventures we take on. All the systems in your engine work together to create reliable and fuel-efficient power. The over-temperature protection system is one of those. It protects your engine from overheating by turning it off when it reaches a certain temperature. Of […]
Some of you may remember the days of a choke, clutch, and even manual fuel injection. These systems may be mostly relegated to the past, but their functions are not. Instead, they are computer controlled by an ECU. The ECU is one of the most vital components in the modern vehicle. It controls ignition timing, […]

An issue with the throttle can often mean that your vehicle is now borderline undrivable. This sensor is extremely important, to say […]
Whether you live at a higher altitude or you simply like to head for the mountains from time to time, barometric pressure is a major factor in vehicle performance. When the air becomes less oxygen-rich, your engines need to compensate for it. Although manufacturers use different systems to get this done, the most common solution […]
Spark. The piece of the combustion puzzle that brings your engine to life. Previously, manufacturers used a mechanical ignition system featuring a single ignition coil and a distributor.
