Advanced Engine Performance Diagnosis 4e

For courses in Engine Performance and Drivability, Computerized Engine Controls, Automotive Computers, and Automotive Fuel Emissions–in automotive departments of vocational and trade schools as well as community colleges. Based on the premise that simple problems should always be checked first, this practical, hands-on book introduces the diagnosis and troubleshooting of automotive engine control systems. It serves students as a single source for information on digital storage oscilloscopes, fuel injection and ignition system diagnoses, five-gas exhaust analysis, emission testing, and more–with a very technical but easy-to-read and understand presentation. This edition has been updated to include even more detailed scope (DSO) and current ramping tests plus extensive scan tool diagnosis. New To This Edition: * Updated and expanded material throughout–Coverage of OBD II has been expanded to an entire chapter; expanded chapters on ignition include coverage on waste-spark, compression sensing as well as coil-on-plug and ion sensing ignition systems; and coverage on enhanced emission control failure analysis has been expanded. * New chapters on network communications. Generic ODB II and Mode 6 plus expanded coverage of exhaust emission system device operation and diagnosis. * Expanded to 26 chapters from 18 to make learning easier for the student and teaching easier for the instrucotor. * Over 100 real world examples of troubleshooting — And even more included on the enclosed CD ROM.Features: * One book format: Both Theory and Diagnosis and Service are together in the one book format. * Correlated to the NATEF task list: The textbook and workbook page numbers are listed in the NATEF correlation guides to make learning and teaching easier. * Correlated to ASE Certification areas. * Multimedia CD: Included with each book and contains animations, videos (most titles), slide show image bank, puzzles (crossword and word search); Spanish translation of the entire book. * Real World examples and Tech Tips: Help student’s associate theory and practical concepts into real everyday situations. * Instructors CD: Contains Power Point Presentation, Video Clips, Image Bank and Completed Crossword puzzles. * Instructors Manual: Contains Sample Syllabus, NATEF Task List, Chapter Outline, Answers to chapter questions, and Transparency Masters) * ASE Test Prep Bundle Option: Each Halderman/Birch title can be bundled with a corresponding ASE Test Prep Guide for $10.00 * Work-text/Job Sheet Bundle Option: NATEF Correlated Work-texts containing “Job Sheet Task List’s” is available for $10.00 with any Prentice Hall Automotive text.Table of Contents:(NOTE: Each chapter begins with Objectives and concludes with a Summary, Review Questions, and ASE Certification-Type Questions section.)
