Unlike the one-cylinder engine just discussed, auto engines are multiple-cylinder engines. They have more than one piston and cylinder. Cars commonly have 4, 6, or 8-cylinder engines. The additional cylinders smooth engine operation because there is less time between each power stroke. This also increases power output from the engine.

Automobiles normally use four-stroke cycle engines. Four separate piston strokes (up or down movements) are needed to produce one cycle (complete series of events). The piston must slide up, down, up, and down again to make one power producing event. As the four strokes are described, study Fig.1-8. The intake stroke draws the air-fuel mixture [...]

The brake system produces friction to reduce speed or stop the car. When the driver presses the brake pedal, fluid pressure expands the brake mechanism on each wheel. The brake mechanisms then produce friction that resists wheel rotation. Engine The engine provides the energy to propel (move) the car and operate the other systems. Most [...]

The suspension system lets the car’s wheels move up and down with little or no body movement. This helps the car ride smoothly and safely. The suspension system must also prevent the car from leaning excessively in turns. Various springs, bars, and swivel joints, and arms make up the suspension system. Steering System The steering [...]

In addition to looking for fluid leaks around the engine compartment, also check the level and quality of the various fluids. After the engine has cooled down sufficiently, remove the radiator cap and look at the bottom of the cap. Caution: Do not remove the radiator cap while the system is hot and under pressure [...]

The protectant spray that the detailers may have used will have left all hoses and wiring looking externally shiny and new, but could disguise any parts that may need replacement. Squeeze the radiator and heater hoses and feel for cracking or brittleness. Look carefully at the ends of hoses, where they are clamped. Swelling just [...]
