We are a demanding people. We want to buy high-performance cars, but we don’t want to deal with the hard-starting and “lumpy” idle that come with high-profile, long-duration camshafts. How can engineers make more power and yet still give us a smooth idle?
An uncontrolled combustion process that occurs when some part of the air/fuel mixture is compelled to burn at supersonic rates, detonation probably accounts for nearly 100% of racing engine failures.
With the advent of the computer, electronics have exploded in every aspect of our lives, and the automobile is no different. Regardless of how sophisticated and productive, all M-B electronics still rely on basic wiring connections. It’s our job to keep all those connections clean, tight, and moisture-free to make everything in the electronics chain work the way it should.
