This book, "Stories from the Road - Automotive Case Studies" is a
real work in action about the intricacies of modern automotive
diagnostics. It is based on actual real life situations. From this
book you may extract real-life lessons, which will help you as an
automotive aficionado, DIY mechanic and professional technician.
The work is divided into narrated stories representing real-life
applications of diagnostic technology, equipment usage, repair
techniques and knowledge based information. Stories from the Road 8
* - Starter with Teeth Issues A Nissan Maxima with sequential
fuel-injection and a COP ignition system with no spark. This was a
nightmare of a diagnostic. Lots of parts had been replaced and to
no avail. Was it the entire wiring harness? That wasn't logical. Se
what happened next. * - Suffocating Eclipse from Inside An Eclipse
that had an EVAP system issue that wouldn't go away. See how in
this diagnostic case various equipment was used, from the smoke
machine, scan tool to the water manometer (electronic). Also learn
how this system operates on the inside. * - Technician Crankshaft
Horror See the issue with this Rodeo after an engine swap and a no
spark condition. The injectors were not triggering and the whole
wiring harness was checked, but nothing panned out. The engine swap
was done superbly. See this diagnostic path from beginning to end
and coving lots of CAM and CRK waveform analysis. Finally the issue
was solved. See how... * - The Exploding VW Golf A VW with serious
acceleration issues. Apart from the lack of power the engine would
backfire every few seconds or so. This car was a turbo, but all
turbo components checked fine. See how a pressure transducer
connected to the intake manifold was used to solve this issue. * -
The Flight Recorder A Chevy Blazer with a buck on sudden
acceleration problem and also intermittent cut out and hard
restart. See how this lean running vehicle was diagnose with the
help of a multi-channel scope. See what it means when we say a lack
of current buildup when voltage goes low. See how it was done
here... * - The Hard Starting Cherokee A Jeep Cherokee with a
common rail Diesel that would not start. Get the scoop on this
modern electronic Diesel injection system from state of the art
animation diagrams and testing techniques. See what happened... * -
The Italian Stallion Timing Issues Fiat is now sold in America as
well as most of the world. This Fiat had issues with hard starting
half the time. An intermittent issue with a tough solution to find.
A CAN networked issue was suggested since all dash communication
went out during cranking, but was it a CAN issue? See what happened
next...

design, development and subsequent manufacture of this highly
prized engine from its inception in 1968 until production ceased in
1982. Coverage includes Ford engine plants, all Cleveland 335
variants, cylinder heads, preparation for racing, camshafts,

Now in paperback! The BSA Bantam is one of the definitive postwar
British bikes, perhaps THE definitive British lightweight built
after World War II. It was certainly the most popular, with over
400,000 built over a 23-year production run - in the first four
years, production broke all records. Yet it would die a lingering
death, production fizzling out in the early 1970s as a neglected
model of a manufacturer more concerned with building big, fast
road-burning bikes. The Bantam might never have happened without
World War II. The prewar DKW RT125 was offered to the Allies as
reparations, taken up and produced in the USA, USSR, even Japan! In
East Germany it was revived as the MZ, and in Britain it surfaced
publicly in 1948 as the BSA Bantam, a very simple little 123cc
two-stroke, with rudimentary electrics, no rear suspension and a
lot of charm.The little bike became part of Britain's social
history. Thousands of people learnt to ride on a Bantam, or had
their first pillion experience on one, or rode one delivering
telegrams for what was the GPO. Although many of those learners
progressed to bigger, faster bikes, then gave up two wheels for
family life, they won't have forgotten the Bantam, which explains
why there's such a thriving Bantam community to this day - the
club, the racing club, the spares specialists, and restorers,
owners and riders all over the country. This might not be Britain's
most glamorous motorcycle, its fastest or most flamboyant, but the
Bantam is probably the most loved.
