It was a red Lamborghini Countach, parked with its scissor doors open to let the sunlight in, what most probably sparked Alex's love for cars. Even though he was less than three years old when he saw ...

Gasoline direct injection, or GDI, is one of the most crucial bits of technology in the modern internal combustion engine. In engines equipped with GDI, highly pressurized gasoline is sprayed directly ...

Modern engines are cleaner and more efficient than the ones you grew up with, yet many drivers are discovering a new headache ...

Port fuel injection and direct injection are similar but distinct systems, so why do some engine designs include both?

The basic difference between direct injection (DI) and the port-fuel injection (PFI) systems we've become familiar with since the mid-1980s is that PFI sprays fuel into the intake manifold (behind ...

I started driving when the vast majority of cars still had points ignitions. I've lived through the mid-'70s transition to electronic ignitions, then 10 years later had to learn a bunch of new tricks ...
