Vehicle Systems and components
The engine: Battery
When you start your car: (a) power from your

battery is used to operate a small electric motor
called the starter motor, (b) the starter motor
turns the flywheel and crankshaft of the engine Spark Plug
so that the engine can attain sufficient
momentum and speed to start and run on its Crankshaft
own, (c) delivering rotational power to the
crankshaft which supplies power to the
remainder of the power train.
Engine
The engine: (Power Plant)
This power is ignited by exploding gas inside cylinders
which drives pistons up and down, through connecting
rods. Inside the pistons a mixture of compressed air
and gas is delivered to the cylinders by a carburetor
and intake manifold or a fuel injection system.
Lubricating System
The moving parts of the engine must be lubricated by
lubricating system. Oil which accumulates in your
engine’s oil pan is pumped by the oil pump through
an oil filter and then through tubes that deliver the
oil to the moving parts to be lubricated.
Oil and Oil Filter

The fuel system:

Fuel and air is delivered to the engine
through components which include: (a)
the fuel tank which is used to store the
gas, (b) a fuel pump which pumps the
gas from the tank through a fuel line
(pipes or hoses) and furl filter to a
carburetor or fuel injection system.
This fuel injection system or

carburetor delivers the proper mix of
air and gas to the cylinders by means Question: What is the name of

through an air cleaner (air filter).
The exhaust system: Muffler
After gas is exploded in one of the

cylinders it is released into an exhaust Exhaust Pipes
manifold which collects it and passes it to a
catalytic converter which chemically reduces
the quantity of harmful pollutants.
The gases are then passed by exhaust pipes
through a muffler and resonator which
reduce the noise.
The gasses are then moved to the tailpipe
which vents the hot air away from the Keep your exhaust system in
