2. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

   Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

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. 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 ...

   Shorter cranks are the hot new trend, but do they actually make you faster? Here’s what the experts say.

6. Engine tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_tuning

   Engine tuning is the adjustment or modification of the internal combustion engine or Engine Control Unit (ECU) to yield optimal performance and increase the engine's power output, economy, or durability. These goals may be mutually exclusive; an engine may be de-tuned with respect to output power in exchange for better economy or longer engine ...

7. 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.

8. Cold start (automotive) - Wikipedia

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

   A cold start can be difficult for an engine due to higher viscosity of oil and fuel in cold temperatures. Generally speaking, diesel engines have more difficulty starting at low outside temperatures than gasoline engines, and electric engines have the most problems. Diesel engines do not use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and rely ...

9. 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.
