Delphi Product & Service Solutions Announces 28 New Fuel Modules And Pumps Covering 4.4 Million Vehicles
Delphi Product & Service Solutions has introduced 28 new fuel modules and pumps to its fuel management portfolio covering more than 4.4 million popular vehicles built from 1990 to 2013, including Jeep, Audi, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Chrysler, Volvo, Nissan, Ford and Honda applications.
BMW Fuel System Repair Essentials
The BMW N54 fuel pump recall a few years ago brought to light the importance of the integrity of the fuel system and how it can contribute to the overall reliability of a vehicle. These fuel quality issues apply to all BMW vehicles with either port or direct injection. The underlying message here is that if the cleanliness and overall integrity of the fuel tank is ignored, it will damage any fuel pump. This is why addressing the fuel tank is essential during any pump replacement to prevent costly comebacks that can also hurt your reputation.
Toyota Tech Tip: Rough Idle, Surging Between 500 To 800 RPM
The owner of 2005 Toyota Avalon complains check engine light is on, rough idle and engine idle surging between 500 and 800 rpm. The technician retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0171 and P0174 (System too lean banks 1 and 2). The technician replaced the air fuel sensors on both banks and cleared DTCs. After driving vehicle for approximately one mile, all symptoms returned.
Pulling Codes: O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction
Pulling a P0135 Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1) code means you’re dealing with a possible oxygen sensor heater element and/or associated components in this circuit. This article provides a game plan for diagnosing a vehicle with this code.
Diagnostic Dilemma: 1999 Dodge Dakota Intermittent Stall Complaints
Diagnosing intermittent stalling complaints is a challenging experience for any diagnostic technician because any number of electrical and mechanical failures can cause an engine to intermittently stall. Most of us immediately narrow this laundry list of potential failures down to the most common few, which include components like the crankshaft position sensor and electric fuel pump.
New Innovative Snap-on EVAP Smoke Machine
The new Snap-on EVAP Smoke Machine (EELD100A), featuring the innovative Diagnostic Smoke technology for EVAP testing and all other applications, is unlike anything on the market today, said the company.
DENSO Develops Highly Standardized Automotive Climate Control Unit
Global automotive supplier DENSO has developed a new automotive climate control unit that can be used for a wide variety of vehicles ranging from compact to luxury cars. Conventional climate control units are often designed and tailored to each vehicle model, but this product has a new structure, which DENSO says enabled the company to standardize components while realizing required performance.
Why A Clean Fuel Tank Is Important For A Fuel Pump’s Diet
Fuel pump replacement comebacks can be costly and can hurt your reputation. One of the leading causes of failure is the tank. If a vehicle gets 20 miles to the gallon, then more than 5,000 gallons of gas (from many stations) will go through the tank in 100,000 miles. During this time, sediment, rust and debris from the pump can find its way into the tank. Removing all contaminates is critical.
Fuel Feature: Eliminating Poor Throttle Response
The pump gasoline sold at gas stations around the country has changed quite a bit over the last several decades. The first major change was the removal of lead from the gasoline. The next major change was to reformulate the gasoline to reduce both the evaporative and exhaust emissions from vehicles. Then, the federal government mandated the use of oxygenation of gasoline in many parts of the country. The latest method to oxygenate the fuel is with ethanol made from corn. These recent changes in gasoline formulation may or may not be a good idea in theory, but since this modern gasoline contains less energy than it did in the past it may actually cause a loss in power, fuel efficiency and driveability unless the engine is properly tuned for these new blends of gasoline.
A/C Compressors Take A Pounding
The A/C compressor is a pump that compresses and circulates refrigerant within the A/C system. Some have pistons inside while others have rotating vanes on an eccentric or a pair of metal scrolls or spirals around an eccentric. Many late-model vehicles have “variable displacement” compressors that change the piston stroke to increase or decrease the volume of refrigerant flowing through the system. Some of these run continuously instead of cycling on and off like conventional A/C compressors.
Snap-on Offers Innovative EVAP Smart Smoke Machine
The patented UltraTraceUV non-contaminating dye solution accurately pinpoints the leaks that smoke alone cannot. The EELD100A features a combination LED and UV light with specialized glasses, as well as a variable flow control that manually reduces the flow to help pinpoint the exact location of a leak.
