Internal combustion engines work by igniting a mixture of air and fuel in the chambers to provide energy. The more oxygen dense the air a car consumes, the more vigorous the explosion during the combustion cycle will be. This will translate to more power (torque and horsepower) per engine stroke. Since cold fresh air is

That is why a car that won’t go into reverse is as bad. Parking will be a nightmare, and changing directions will be impossible unless
Most modern vehicles with an automatic (or even manual) gearbox go into limp mode when they detect a severe problem with the transmission or powertrain. Limp mode severely reduces engine power giving you just enough to slowly drive to a service station or prudently drive your vehicle onto a flatbed. Your car won’t respond to
Modern vehicles have shifted from passive safety features to active safety and collision avoidance systems. All the information the car’s computer needs to avoid collisions and maneuver accordingly comes from an array of sensors splashed all around the vehicle. Your park assist is one of the active collision avoidance and driver assistance systems in a
Tired of the constant droning noise filtering into your car when driving at highway speed, even with your windows rolled up? Well. That’s tire noise. Your tires keep you on the road by sticking firmly onto the surface. As they rotate, they have to peel them off the surface. Moreover, road imperfections and air going
