Engine Management by HaynesReview date: 2010-03-21 Rating: 8 out of 10I purchased this Haynes 'Red' book because at the time I was involved with fixing an engine problem with a Rover motorcar: it would not idle smoothly. I had a general appreciation of how engine management systems (EMS) work but what I lacked was a deeper understanding of the subject which was essential in accurately diagnosing the problem with the Rover.
I purchased two Haynes books, the second 'Blue' book, entitled: 'Haynes Automotive Engine Management and Fuel Injection Systems Manual', deals with the engine management specifics for a family of motorcars from different manufacturers. In retrospect, this second book proved the more useful because it provides detailed engine management descriptions along with circuit diagrams, including for Rover.
The 'Red' book is different in its approach in that it describes EMS in general terms but also in quite a lot of depth. It explains, for example, why and how EMS came into being and why, for example, the carburettor was replaced in favour of fuel injection. It also describes the purpose of sensors and actuators in EMS and how they work. It also describes the function of the ECU/EMU which is the 'brain' at the heart of the EMS and all modern production motorcars have at least one.
It is not unusual to find as many as 1 - 3 dozen sensors & actuators integrated into the average modern EMS and each has a special role to play in reducing engine emissions whilst maximising performance. Some of the more complex and expensive makes of motorcar have as many as 80+ 'brains' organised in a distributed network throughout the motorcar. However, the 'Red' book only discusses the function of the 'brain' directly associated with the EMS and only then in a general way.
The 'Red' book and its companion are primarily intended for the technically-minded, car enthusiast or automotive technician. Taken together they complement one another.good butReview date: 2010-02-21 Rating: 8 out of 10could do with a bit more details on th sensors needed and general wiring. apart from that, excellentVery detailedReview date: 2010-02-16 Rating: 10 out of 10This is a great resource for any budding engine tuner. The pages are clearly laid out, the author gives a lot of background information behind each tuning method and the explanations and details are easy to follow.
Highly recommended.Fantastic book but would need an updateReview date: 2009-12-08 Rating: 8 out of 10I have a lot of respect for Dave and he clearly knows his stuff. As mentioned in other reviews this is an excelent intro to the subject.
My slight gripe is that it has a signifficant section on tunning the weber carbs. Probably this was included because at the time of writting many people used engine management for spark delivery and not for both spark and fuel.
However apart from that It is a very good book written by a REAL expert on the subject.
Pictures: Very good
Text: Easy to follow and very clear.
The thing that I like about this book is that is based mainly on european engines and not the typical Amercian V8 book. It has very good coverage of the Rover K series, an engine that holds very little secrets for david.
