<description><![CDATA[Anti-theft systems are designed to deter auto theft. Most do a pretty good job of doing just that. But anti-theft systems also cause a lot of annoying problems when they act up. Your car might not start. Or, the system may suddenly kill the ignition while you are driving, causing your car to stall. Or, the alarm may go off when you open the door with the key and not shut off. Or the alarm may go off for no apparent reason. &nbsp;Anti-theft systemFactory installed anti-theft systems are usually more reliable and less apt to misbehave than aftermarket anti-theft systems. One of the reasons for t...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You go to start your car and discover the engine won't crank because the battery is dead. Now what? You get somebody to give you a jump start, or you connect the battery to a charger and charge it up until it has enough juice to start your engine.The next morning you go to start your car again, and the same thing happens. The battery has run down and the engine won't crank. What is wrong? Fig 1. The battery has run down and the engine won't crank.WHY A CAR BATTERY RUNS DOWNA car battery can run down for any of several reasons:&#8226; You accidentally left the lights on or some other accessory ...]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.riboparts.com/changeBlogsite.asp?changeInfo=Information for Auto Parts&changeClass=Auto Parts Articles&changeName=&id=2211]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Power Centers are all about power. Not horsepower but routing electrical power through the various circuits and accessories in the vehicle's electrical system. Think of the Power Center as a fuse box on steroids. And because it is the heart of the entire electrical system, you can use it as a handy access point for checking circuit voltages, resistance and continuity.Compared to the random locations of fuses and relays throughout the electrical system in older vehicles (those built up until the mid- to late-1980s), the Power Center is a welcome improvement. With most of the relays and fuses gr...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Disconnecting or replacing a battery on a computer-equipped vehicle may cause starting, driveability and a number of other problems, including loss of air conditioning, power accessory functions (door windows, seats, sunroof), false warning lights, even damage to certain electronic modules! So if you are replacing or disconnecting a battery for any reason, proceed with caution.One of the things I wanted to do with the article was list all of the vehicle applications that have known battery disconnect issues. Unfortunately, I have never found such a list. Most vehicle owners manuals don't offer...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[WARNING: BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS!WARNING: Automotive lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid in the electrolyte. The acid inside the battery is highly corrosive and can burn your skin if it leaks out of the battery and gets on your skin. This is NOT a danger if the battery is a &quot;gel&quot; type that does not contain liquid acid. But it can be a concern if the battery contains liquid acid and has removable caps on top. Sealed top batteries should contain the liquid as long as the battery remains in an upright position (do NOT turn it sideways or upside down). Acid may leak out if the b...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Troubleshooting electrical problems can be a frustrating task, but it does not have to be if you keep a few simple rules in mind: Every circuit needs a power source; most electrical devices require a minimum voltage to function correctly; and all circuits require continuity. Consequently, most electrical problems are caused by low voltage (or no voltage), excessive resistance or a loss of continuity.Fig 1. Troubleshooting Auto Electrical ProblemsSAFETY CONSIDERATIONSSafety is always an important consideration when working on automotive electrical systems. Except for the high voltage side of th...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[by Larry Carley &nbsp; WHEN AN ENGINE WON'T STARTEvery engine requires four basic ingredients to start: sufficient cranking speed, good compression, adequate ignition voltage (with correct timing) and fuel (a relatively rich air/fuel mixture initially). So any time an engine fails to start, you can assume it lacks one of these four essential ingredients. But which one?To find you, you need to analyze the situation. If the engine won't crank, you are probably dealing with a starter or battery problem. Has the starter been acting up? (unusual noises, slow cranking, etc.). Is this the first time ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Chevy Firing OrderThe firing order of an engine is the sequence the spark plugs fire. On engines with a distributor, the firing order is determined by the routing of the spark plug wires from the distributor cap to the spark plugs in each cylinder. When the piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke, the rotor inside the distributor should be aligned with the number one (#1) spark plug terminal in the distributor cap. Depending on which way the distributor rotates (clockwise or counter-clockwise), the next plug wire in the cap would go to the next spark plug in the firing seq...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[by Larry Carley Platinum and iridium have become a buzzword for ignition durability. Platinum and iridium are good conductors of heat and electricity. Both metals also have the ability to resist chemical corrosion and electrical erosion. That is why platinum and iridium are used on the electrodes of many spark plugs today.Some plugs have a solid platinum or iridium center electrode, while others have a small button of platinum welded onto the tip of center electrode or both electrodes (single platinum vs. double platinum). Some even use an alloy of platinum and iridium in the center electrode ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If your engine cranks normally but will not start because it has no spark, or it stalls and won't restart because it has no spark, the problem may be due to any of the following:A bad pickup inside the distributor (on engines that have a distributor), a stripped distributor drive gear (common problem with plastic distributor drive gears), broken, loose or corroded wires from the pickup to the ignition module or PCM.A bad crankshaft position (CKP) sensor (on engines that do not have a distributor), or broken, loose or corroded wires from the sensor to the PCM.A bad ignition module (on engines t...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[AAA Abbreviation for the American Automobile Association. AAA, in conjunction with various local motor clubs, often certifies various repair facilities. The approved facilities must meet certain minimum standards of service to be listed in the local AAA directory. ABS Acronym for &quot;Anti-lock Brake System.&quot; Vehicles equipped with ABS use wheel speed sensors and a computer-controlled brake pressure regulator to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden stops. When the computer senses one wheel is slowing faster than the others (indicating it is about to lock-up and skid), the computer reduces...]]></description>
