ENGINE CONTROLS

Today, car manufacturers include at least one computer in motor vehicles. This computer’s main function is to monitor and adjust engine and transmission operations. The computer receives input information from different sensors, then controls functions like spark plugs, idle speed, and fuel injectors so as to get you the best possible car performance. Failure of the car computer will greatly affect the things it controls. To get the most out of your car’s computer, have it evaluated regularly for updates and proper operation. If it is already failing, have it repaired or replaced.

Basically, an engine control system is an onboard computer in your car. Like all computers, the engine controls are composed of hardware and software. Automotive engine control systems are responsible for regulating exhaust emissions, and providing increased fuel economy. To get the best out of your car’s incredibly powerful technology, make sure engine controls are working properly.

DRIVABILITY

Drivability is the degree of smoothness and steadiness of your car’s acceleration. Most modern cars are fitted with onboard computers that continuously check the readings from various sensors. In case of drivability problems, you will receive a warning message on your car’s dashboard. To have your car diagnosed with drivability issues, visit Keith Schulz Garage & Diagnostic Center. We have the necessary tools, training, and technology to diagnose and address your car’s drivability issues.

When your check engine light comes on, it is a warning from your system to alert that there is a performance issue. Don’t ignore the Check Engine Light. If the light comes on, bring it on in!
