NEW TOPIC: Automotive mechanical terms:
List it and what it is....must be mechanical like in power train, drive train, suspension, braking etc.

For example: A is for...

ABS: Abbreviation for Anti-lock Brake System.
A computer, sensors, and solenoid valves work together to sense wheel speed in order to modulate braking force if wheels lockup during braking.

Air cleaner element: The replaceable filter which prevents impurities from the air which enters the combustion chamber.

Baffle
[1] An obstruction (e.g., plate or vane) used to slow down or divert the flow of gases, liquids, sound, etc. They are found in the fuel tank, crankcase, muffler, and radiator.
[2] Plates fitted between cylinders of air-cooled engines to assist cooling.

Camshaft
A shaft with Cam lobes (bumps) which is driven by gears, a belt, or a Chain from the crankshaft. The lobes push on the Valve lifters to cause the valves to open and close. The camshaft turns at half the speed of the crankshaft.

Carburetor:
a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine in the proper ratio for combustion. It is sometimes colloquially shortened to carb in North America or carby in Australia.[1] To carburate or carburet (and thus carburation or carburetion, respectively) is to blend the air and fuel or to equip (an engine) with a carburetor for that purpose.

Drive Shaft

A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.

Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
A generic term for any embedded system that controls one or more of the electrical system or subsystems in a transport vehicle.

Fuel injection (FI):
A fuel delivery system in which nozzles (injectors) spray fuel into the intake manifold or cylinders,allowing for more precise fuel control and better fuel efficiency than
can be achieved with a carburetor.

Gas Tank

The place where the gas goes.
