Techone Advanced Automotive Engine Performance

This book presents diagnostic techniques suitable for troubleshooting any of the major systems affecting engine performance. Diagnostic troubleshooting charts that feature real-world problems in a ?smart chart? format help diminish the likelihood that readers will omit diagnostic steps, while a consistent strategy-based diagnostics framework is applied to each system discussed. Early chapters examine the topics of engine control, ignition, and emissions systems for a comprehensive yet concise understanding of foundational concepts. A thorough treatment of on board diagnostics (OBDII) follows, with information on ?no-code? drivability diagnostic techniques. Remaining chapters are dedicated to the diagnosis of each system individually. This focus on specific troubleshooting methods for each system leaves readers with a realistic view of their work as future technicians and the types of situations likely to be encountered on the job.Kent is the author of 'Techone Advanced Automotive Engine Performance', published 2005 under ISBN 9781401833824 and ISBN 1401833829.
