The 4-stroke combustion process (intake, compression, power, and exhaust) normally occurs smoothly. The pistons, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and other components work like a well-oiled machine. Pressure builds within the combustion chamber until the air-fuel mixture contained within it is ignited by the spark plug. That’s what propels your vehicle forward. When you hear a [...]

Your car’s alternator won’t last forever. Neither will your catalytic converter. In fact, your fuel injectors, ignition switch, and muffler can also fail. Every auto part under your vehicle’s hood can unexpectedly expire and need to be replaced.
If you take your car to the dealership, they’ll use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. On the [...]

The recommended changing of a car’s air filter falls into a wide range of possibilities. Some experts claim that doing so every 3,000 miles helps to ensure that your vehicle’s engine is performing as efficiently as possible. At the other extreme are proponents that claim that changing it every 30,000 will suffice. In truth, neither [...]

First step is to ensure that gasoline adequately supplies the injectors. Second, it needs to generate the right level of pressure so the injectors can deliver the proper amount of [...]

Due to the ever increasing prices of most all commodities, the selling of used Honda parts and other used car parts has now become widespread because the savings are tremendous and the quality remains high.
You have to be careful though or you could get taken. And that’s why one of the best places for [...]

Many car owners are fooled into believing the myths by commercial advertisement and less-than-scrupulous mechanics. For example, the idea that your vehicle must have regular oil changes every 3,000 miles is an absolute falsehood. Similarly, your technician’s advice to have your radiator flushed once a year is more for his bottom line than for [...]

Every minute you’re driving, your vehicle’s engine goes through its combustion process thousands of times. As it does, it produces intense heat. Nearly half of that heat leaves through the tailpipe and dissipates in the air. The other half must be absorbed by the auto parts that comprise your engine. That includes the cylinder heads, [...]
