  2. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

    The objective of knock control strategies is to attempt to optimize the trade-off between protecting the engine from damaging knock events and maximizing the engine's output torque. Knock events are an independent random process. [8] It is impossible to design knock controllers in a deterministic platform. A single time history simulation or ...

  3. Check engine light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_engine_light

    A check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system uses to indicate a malfunction or problem with the vehicle ranging from minor (such as a loose gas cap) to serious (worn spark plugs, engine problems or a faulty oil valve, etc.).

  4. Cold start (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_start_(automotive)

    A cold start is an attempt to start a vehicle's engine when ambient temperatures are much lower than its normal operating temperature. [1] A cold start can be difficult for an engine due to higher viscosity of oil and fuel in cold temperatures.

  5. Traction control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

    The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.

  6. Engine control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_control_unit

    The Ford EEC (Electronic Engine Control) system, which utilized the Toshiba TLCS-12 microprocessor, went into mass production in 1975. [ 7 ] The first Bosch engine management system was the Motronic 1.0 , which was introduced in the 1979 BMW 7 Series (E23) [ 8 ] This system was based on the existing Bosch Jetronic fuel injection system, to ...

  8. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

    A bad crank position sensor can worsen the way the engine idles, or the acceleration behaviour. If the engine is revved up with a bad or faulty sensor, it may cause misfiring, motor vibration or backfires. Acceleration might be hesitant, and abnormal shaking during engine idle might occur. In the worst case, the car may not start.

  9. Antiknock agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiknock_agent

    Its purpose was to permit high levels of boost pressure in multiple-stage turbochargers, and thus high power at high altitudes, without causing detonation that would destroy the engine. The high pressures brought high temperatures of inlet air, making engines prone to knock. This use and storage stabilization methods were important military ...
