  3. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_auto_parts

    This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles.This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive.

  5. Active Fuel Management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Fuel_Management

    Active Fuel Management (formerly known as displacement on demand (DoD)) is a trademarked name for the automobile variable displacement technology from General Motors. It allows a V6 or V8 engine to "turn off" half of the cylinders under light-load conditions to improve fuel economy .

  7. Oldsmobile Diesel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmobile_Diesel_engine

    The sales and reliability woes were compounded by a decline in gas prices as well as fuel quality issues, including large volumes of diesel fuel containing water or foreign particles. [4] A class action lawsuit eventually forced General Motors to pay up to 80 percent of the costs of new engines. A large number of cars simply had their broken ...

  8. Ford EcoBoost engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_EcoBoost_engine

    The fuel charging and delivery systems can attain high fuel pressures up to 14.8 megapascals (2,150 psi), necessary for efficient operation of the direct fuel injection system. The F-series EcoBoost 3.5L V6 uses two BorgWarner K03 turbochargers which can spin up to 170,000 rpm and provide up to 100 kPa (15 psi) of boost.

  9. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    Thus, a MAP sensor will always read 100 kPa more than a boost sensor measuring the same conditions. A MAP sensor will never display a negative reading because it is measuring absolute pressure, where zero is the total absence of pressure. Vacuum is measured as a negative pressure relative to normal atmospheric pressure. Vacuum-Boost sensors can ...
