Study Notes

Engine Repair

  • Engine Components:
    • Cylinders: where combustion takes place
    • Pistons: move up and down in cylinders, driven by explosive force
    • Crankshaft: converts up-and-down motion into rotary motion
    • Camshaft: operates valves, allowing air and fuel into cylinders
  • Common Engine Problems:
    • Oil leaks
    • Overheating
    • Low compression
    • Faulty spark plugs
  • Repair Techniques:
    • Compression testing
    • Leak-down testing
    • Cylinder head reconditioning
    • Engine block machining

Transmission Systems

  • Manual Transmission:
    • Uses gears and clutch to transfer power
    • Driver controls gear shifts
  • Automatic Transmission:
    • Uses torque converter and planetary gearsets
    • Transmission control module (TCM) controls shifts
  • Transmission Components:
    • Gears
    • Bearings
    • Seals
    • Clutch packs
  • Common Transmission Problems:
    • Slipping or hesitation
    • Leaks
    • Noise or vibration
    • Failure to engage gears

Electronic Fuel Injection

  • EFI Components:
    • Fuel injectors
    • Fuel pump
    • Oxygen sensor
    • Engine control module (ECM)
  • How EFI Works:
    • ECM calculates air/fuel mixture
    • Fuel injectors spray fuel into intake manifold
    • Oxygen sensor monitors exhaust gases
  • Benefits of EFI:
    • Improved fuel efficiency
    • Increased power
    • Reduced emissions
    • Self-diagnostic capabilities

Brake Systems

  • Brake Components:
    • Brake pads
    • Rotors
    • Calipers
    • Brake fluid
  • Brake Types:
    • Disc brakes
    • Drum brakes
    • ABS (anti-lock braking system)
  • Brake Problems:
    • Worn or warped rotors
    • Spongy brake pedal
    • Brake noise or vibration
    • Leaks or low brake fluid

Suspension And Steering

  • Suspension Components:
    • Springs
    • Shock absorbers
    • Struts
    • Control arms
  • Steering Components:
    • Steering gear
    • Steering column
    • Power steering pump
    • Steering linkage
  • Suspension and Steering Problems:
    • Worn or loose components
    • Noise or vibration
    • Uneven tire wear
    • Steering wander or pull
