What Is an ASE Certification and Why Is It Important? ASE certification and the badge on the uniform signify that you have been tested and certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. It implies to the...

When you order a fuel pump for your vehicle, you may be surprised to see it in a huge box. That is because you must replace the entire fuel pump module or hanger instead of just the fuel pump. Some units are “open” so you can see the pump, sock, filter and wiring; and some of “closed” so you see a large plastic cylinder.

Before evolving into the fuel injection systems we enjoy today, a car’s fuel delivery system featured carburetors. Diesel engines, however, have always utilized direct fuel injection.

The PCM adjusts the fuel trim an average of three times a second. It adjusts its fuel trim strategy according to the changing inputs from the various sensors on the engine.

Marine fuel delivery systems require the same amount of care that is given to automotive systems. Marine equipment can even be subject to more extreme conditions when the effects of salt water are taken into consideration.

Whether you’re a new do-it-yourselfer or a seasoned professional, safety should always be a priority. Over time, we tend to get comfortable and fall away from basic safety practices if we’re not careful. Here’s a refresher to help keep you, your colleagues, and your vehicle safe.

Since cars were first created, vehicle mechanics and maintenance remained more or less consistent until the last decade. Being a mechanic meant working on the physical mechanics of an engine and car.

If the engine is experiencing a hard start or no-start condition, it is recommended you check if you have a clogged fuel filter before replacing the fuel pump. Symptoms of a clogged filter include the engine stalling or...

When an engine is running poorly or not at all, there’s a tendency to blame the gas. Either it’s “bad gas” or a bad fuel pump.

Your vehicle’s exhaust can tell you many different things about the way your engine is running. Though it is not the be-all, end-all diagnostic tool, it can point you in the right direction, including the ability to tell if the problem is a head gasket, a problem with the ignition or a problem with the fuel delivery system.

Safety in the automotive service workplace must always remain a top priority, given the number of hazards encountered on a daily basis. Auto shops are extremely hazardous, with a great deal of liability.

Fuel systems and electrical have become one the most complex components of vehicles. With the advent of electronic fuel injection (EFI), fuel delivery systems became exponentially more difficult to understand than their earlier counterparts: engines with carburetors.
