Automotive Emission Control and Tune-up Procedures [Sound and Basic Engine Fundamentals]

The control of objectionable emissions from the automobile can be achieved and maintained in only one way - by proper engine tune-up. Your success as a tune-up specialist is governed to a large measure by your understanding of the operating principles of the units and elements involved in a tune-up and in emission control systems and devices you work on. This book covers engine operating fundamentals, batteries, basic electricity, fuel pumps, carburetor circuits, crankcase ventilation systems, exhaust emission control systems and their assist units, evaporation emission control systems, complete coverage of charging systems, complete ignition system coverage, and a step-by-step tune-up procedure. The first portion cover the theory on each of these subjects. The second portion covers testing and adjustment procedures along with a step-by-step major tune-up procedure plan.
