The key to performance in the '90s and beyond is information. Because of its compexifies, a more than rudimentary understanding of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) will allow you to build a better ...

The subject of electronics in hot rodding rivals politics and religion as topics to be avoided in polite company. Mention computers to a reactionary hot rodder and he'll likely declare that silicon ...

The Komatsu hydrostatic drive uses a high-speed and low-speed motor. When lots of torque is needed, both drives work through the crankcase; but when the machine gets up to speed, a clutch removes the ...

Electronic fuel injection revolutionized the auto industry in the 1980s. It came to replace the carburetor in the task of sending fuel to the engine's cylinders but it does much more: it controls ...

STMicroelectronics has partnered with Arrow Electronics to offer a complete reference design electronic control unit (ECU) for electronic fuel injection (EFI). The SPC5-L9177A-K02 ECU Reference Design ...

Small internal combustion engines usually keep things simple, relying on carburetors to handle metering the correct amount of fuel and air. Recently, [Carlos Takeshita] decided his small engine could ...

ST Microelectronics developed a Small Engine EFI reference design and is teamed up with Arrow Electronics to supply these boards quickly to customers. See Figure 1. What is the advantage 1 of ...

Piston engines are undergoing significant modernization, incorporating advancements in design, efficiency, and fuel flexibility. Key technological integrations include FADEC (Full Authority Digital ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...

Fuel injection, it’s the wave of the future. Well, at least it was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This was really the dark ages of fuel delivery in cars and trucks. Carburetors worked pretty well ...

A classic car is more than a way to get from A to B. It is a rolling time capsule, and few parts define its character as strongly as the way it breathes and burns fuel. The argument over whether a ...
