When it comes to human inventions, cars are considered to be among the greatest. With this type of vehicle, traveling distant places with comfort is now possible. Getting tired by walking from one town to another is a thing of the past.
Cars can also be beneficial when it comes to saving time. Cars are able to run at speed of 80 kilometers per hour or even more, while humans can run at only 25 to 30 kilometers per hour.
When you're traveling to far off places, you don't have to stop to make your car rest, which is among the most beneficial things about them. You just have to fill up your car's fuel tank and you can travel for hours or even days.
Nevertheless, cars are not made to last forever, just like all the other inventions of man. Eventually, you will find out that some of their parts are already broken. So, it is important to have your car checked at least twice a year in order to avoid getting stuck in the middle of the road while driving.
But having your car checked can also lead to so many expenses. Well, it's a good thing that there are certain tools that will help you monitor your car's condition; and among these is an engine computer.
Different varieties of sensors like air pressure sensor, engine temperature, throttle position, air temperature, etc., are being used by this device so as to make sure that the car is running at optimum capacity.
Many cars being manufactured these days already have engine computers, as well as an engine control module installed in them. An engine computer is a device that can sense if something is wrong with a car.
By making the "check engine" bulb light, the engine's computer will be able to alert the driver. It is best to go to the nearest auto repair shop and have your car checked by a mechanic when you see this warning. By reading the diagnostic code from the engine computer, the mechanic will be able to track which part of your car's engine have a problem.
Another function of an engine computer is to give information to the driver about his car's performance. It keeps an eye on the amount of fuel left in the gas tank, the ignition timing and the spark plugs as well.
In order to keep the engine running at its maximum capacity, an engine computer and/or an engine control module can also manage fuel injectors and spark plugs. For lower emissions, this device also adjusts the parts of the car's engine.
