Electronic engine controls

This textbook provides competency-based instruction on modern automotive engine electronics. It emphasizes the practical ''need to know'' information on the major American and imported electronic engine controls. Basic theory necessary for a complete understanding of control systems (including background coverage of electricity and electronics) is explained. Designed for students, self-paced instruction, or as a reference for professional automotive technicians, the text utilizes a step-by-step approach that complements factory and shop services manuals. Hands-on applications cover system-specific and component descriptions, significant operational features, and system diagnosis and component replacement. Approximately 500 photographs and illustrations aid in student comprehension. The Instructor's Guide contains outlines, objectives, review questions and tests, discussion topics, solutions to text problems, and suggested instructional methods for competency-based classroom training.
