Presented in a two-volume set, the classroom manual and practice manual give students a thorough introduction to the theory and service skills of engine combustion control systems. The first volume explains the operation of fuel, ignition, emission control, and electrical and electronic systems on late-model vehicles, progressing from the fundamentals of combustion control through specific examples from major car makers. The learning objectives and review questions presented in each chapter follow the requirements of ASE certification testing and industry training standards.
- increases coverage of DIS installations on domestic engines.
- improves explanations of computer principles shared by all car makers.
- expands overviews of fuel injection systems and basic services.
