2. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

   An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.

3. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

   A crank sensor (CKP) [1] [2] [3] is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine parameters.

4. Crank (mechanism) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crank_(mechanism)

   A crank is an arm attached at a right angle to a rotating shaft by which circular motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. When combined with a connecting rod, it can be used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or vice versa. The arm may be a bent portion of the shaft, or a separate arm or disk attached to it.

5. Crankshaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft

   Crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods for a typical internal combustion engine Marine engine crankshafts from 1942 The crankshaft is located within the engine block and held in place via main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the block. [3]

6. Starting fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starting_fluid

   Starting fluid is sprayed into the engine intake near the air filter, or into the carburetor bore or a spark plug hole of an engine to get added fuel to the combustion cylinder quickly. Using starting fluid to get the engine running faster avoids wear to starters and fatigue to one's arm with pull start engines, especially on rarely used machines.

7. Timing mark - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_mark

   Modern engines usually use a crank sensor directly connected to the engine management system. The term can also be used to describe the tick marks along the length of an optical mark recognition sheet, used to confirm the location of the sheet as it passes through the reader. See, for example, U.S. Patent 3,218,439 (filed 1964, granted 1965 ...

8. Connecting rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_rod

   Connecting rod and piston from a car engine. A connecting rod for an internal combustion engine consists of the 'big end', 'rod' and 'small end'. The small end attaches to the gudgeon pin (also called 'piston pin' or 'wrist pin' in the U.S.), which allows for rotation between the connecting rod and the piston.

9. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

   Jump start procedures are usually found in the vehicle owner's manual. [3] The recommended sequence [4] of connections is intended to reduce the chance of accidentally shorting the good battery or igniting hydrogen gas. Owner's manuals will show the preferred locations for connection of jumper cables; for example, some vehicles have the battery ...
