Modern cars rely on a dense web of sensors to manage everything from fuel delivery to collision avoidance, and when one fails, the result can range from a minor annoyance to a four-figure repair. I ...

Two of the most critical components that help power your car's internal combustion engine are the crankshaft and the camshaft(s). The two parts are vital for sending power to various areas of your ...

Don't let failing oxygen sensors compromise your engine's performance. O2 sensors are critical to emissions control on your car, SUV or truck. As the name implies, the O2 sensor (also called an ...

Freescale Semiconductor is adding three new pin-for-pin compatible pressure sensor replacements for the MPXHZ6000 family to its portfolio of Xtrinsic pressure sensors for automotive engine management ...

Groomed for monitoring dynamic combustion pressure in diesel and natural gas engines plus other reciprocating equipment, the Series 175 pressure sensors sport a solid-state construction with no moving ...

If only Volkswagen made use of this technology. An MIT report says wireless sensors could be used to benefit the auto industry by enabling diesel engines to use less fuel, while lowering soot and ash ...

Your car’s O2 sensor can be cleaned if you’re in a pinch, but cleaning won’t make an old sensor reliable again. Most failing sensors must be replaced.

A big reason that the small-block Chevy was so popular with the Bow Tie crowd was because for decades it changed very little, making upgrades and interchangeability easy. The same can be said for the ...

Two Purdue University engineering professors have developed tiny wireless sensors so robust they can detect when critical bearings in jet engines are about to fail. The sensors are an example of micro ...

Scientists have developed tiny wireless sensors resilient enough to survive the harsh conditions inside jet engines to detect when critical bearings are close to failing and prevent breakdowns.

Researchers at Purdue University, working with the U.S. Air Force, have developed tiny wireless sensors resilient enough to survive the harsh conditions inside jet engines to detect when critical ...
