Unlocking the Mysteries Behind Gasoline and Diesel Piezoelectric Injectors I recently read David McCullough’s book The Wright Brothers about their work as pioneers of aviation. One interesting fact was that they built their own engines, and the very first engine they...
We can get lost very quickly if we are not savvy to the fact that the engine is the actual modulator for the computer controlling it. Wow. Sometimes in the world of diagnostics, we run into some extremely hard to solve technical problems. Most of the time these days,...
This info may be useful to hot rodders. It is useless to experienced professionals. We already know this stuff.
This sentence irked me:
>An idle and cruise mixture of 14.1 to 13.4 to 1 air/fuel mixture (1% to 3% CO).
