When we got the invitation to tour Bosch's oxygen sensor plant in Anderson, South Carolina, it had all the allure of eating a sand sandwich. Let's face it, oxygen sensors aren't the most glamorous ...

In the world of automotive tuning, knowledge is horsepower. Gauges, loggers, and sensors galore provide the data to advance performance, solve problems, and prevent expensive engines from experiencing ...

Oxygen sensors detect the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. Oxygen sensors usually don’t have a replacement schedule. A bad oxygen sensor can be diagnosed with a code reader or scan tool. A car’s ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The method for measuring air-fuel ratio is generally based on analysis of the exhaust gas components and its calculations. A new instrument ...

Back in the Fox days, the most common method of tuning was to increase timing until detonation, and back it off a couple degrees. Like Fox cars, that method was crude, but a dyno wasn’t on every other ...

High bandwidth control of the air-fuel ratio is necessary in order to minimize the exhaust emissions of sparkignition engines with three-way catalytic converters. A new approach is to implement a ...

Modern vehicles are pretty complicated pieces of tech. Apart from emissions and other vital functions, the engine control system relies heavily on several sensors to regulate performance. That is ...
