Engine Sensors - Basics. 3D Animation

[@carinfo3d-En]

Hello everyone! I'm finally putting up another video. Enjoy watching it. In our online video course "Car Anatomy" there are more informational videos in 3D animation. Details on our website: carinfo3d.com

[@gilbertmelara]

@@carinfo3d-En thanks excellent information

[@jeremyvilla467]

Very beautiful i love to be a mechanic after seeing this.

[@WilliamRemuso]

This are awesome,, love them thank you

[@johneverett3947]

Been in the industry for 42+ years. Well done description and list. Covered about 95% of them. The more people know the more they understand when somethings wrong.😊

[@henridekker9132]

Very precise information and excellent animations. Helps me to study these complex systems to become a diagnostic professional at age 72. never too old to learn as they say.

[@Feral_Sage]

I admire that. I love learning new things all the time and I am 30. I hope to have that same ambition when I am in my 70's.

[@kobrien61]

I'm in my sixties, not far behind you. I just retired, and got bored. Spent my life in offices and on airplanes, now I want to work with my hands. Now that I don't how to make money anymore, I can do what I want 😊

God bless you

[@majorrgeek]

@henridekker9132 - forget it Pops, at your age I would stop bothering with the massive complexities of modern internal combustion engine diagnostics mumbo jumbo complexities etc mechanical Jurassic dinosaurs and switch to electric vehicles - less moving parts last longer no greasy oil smells valves, pistons, injectors and junk like that and more efficient,

[@PadmaDorjee]

Thank you SOOOO much for these videos. They are helping someone with a disability to understand and therefore learn about cars which is my number one passion.

[@TREE3-ph4sr]

Car manufacters added those sensors and electronic components to create an illusion that fuel efficiency saves money but then car maintenance and repairs have become a lot more expensive. More things can go wrong with the cars too because of those additional components that will eventually cause cars to malfunction

[@carinfo3d-En]

To a large extent, engines are becoming more complex due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations around the world, and I think it's a good thing that we have significantly fewer emissions under our noses. But, yes, because of this, the maintenance of the car becomes much higher. And here appears the opposite side, in many countries they simply silence EGR systems, cut out catalytic converters and so on, and in the end it becomes only worse. In general, it is difficult to find the golden mean that would be good for everyone:)

[@Golfr2020]

Based on what?

[@samzeng159]

Not really the sensors last a long time and are pretty cheap to replace

[@billmalec]

They added it because of EPA regulations. Blame them.

Also explains why you need 95% less maintenance than the oldies required. EDIT: changed "as" to "than".

True, I'm pretty much limited to oil changes now a days. But also agree with GaryL much better than my 1970 MGB with Lucas "prince of darkness electrics."

Excellent animation and explanation. I already knew all the information, but watched anyway. What you covered here in a few minutes took me many hours of reading in books 30 years ago. A great resource for anyone wanting to learn about engines.

Thought the same as I watched.

Very nicely done. Thank you. Would you consider (or did you already do) an equivalent video for the diesel particulate filter and regeneration process? Many Thanks! You are serving the community and your work is appreciated.

There´s no such thing,CAN bus operates with Tranceivers,independent module CPU´s and arbitrary half-duplex communication mode,some are ignored while others keep the engine running!

[@TestECull]

I'm so glad my truck doesn't have a single one of these sensors. I love simplicity. Carb and points. Reliable. Serviceable. Rugged. Easy to diagnose. No fuss, no toddler tantrums, just simply works.

[@nicholasnoniashvili2790]

I'm sure it doesn't need oil or fuel as well

[@TestECull]

@@nicholasnoniashvili2790 lol don't know what you're trying to say with that one.

[@ZenzDeluxe]

@@TestECull He's saying you're being unrealistically positive and luddist about your archaic garbage. The old fueling/ignition systems were less complex, but not without issues (nothing mechanically is). They also operated significantly less efficient and were not bound by the absurd regulations that exist now. My (and probably his) point being, that your old obsolete crap is only perceived as "good" by dimwits because it had to play by comparatively no legislative "rules" and because you're only using "reliability" as the most common denominator for judging an engine. In short, you're an old simpleton with a love for old simple things, which is allowed of course, but don't do it while calling everything new "crap". Learn nuance.

[@Skidracer21]

Trade-off: higher fuel consumption and lower power output relative to basic EFI vehicles and having to re-tune the carb depending on the season. If it's an occasional-use vehicle, not a big deal. If it's for something that has to get you to a workplace that is somewhat far-flung from where you park it at the end of the day, any sort of added ritual (prolonged warm-up, etc) becomes an inconvenience you have to work around and possibly build more time into your schedule for.

[@TestECull]

@@Skidracer21 Been driving carb engines since I was in high school in 2007. You're completely full of shit. You dont have to retune these things for the seasons and if you have to have an extended warmup before you can drive it you are neglecting your vehicle. 🤷 I just got done driving to work in my 1971 Chevy C10 pickup...typing this reply in the parking lot...my warmup time this morning was however long it took me to buckle a lap belt, turn the headlights on, and get my mountain dew in my magnetic koozie cupholder. Ran flawlessly for the 40 mile drive. 👌 Fuel economy...eehhh I am getting about the same with this truck that I got with the 2014 Challenger I replaced with it. As for specific output...I see EFI engines pulling 75hp/liter, 100hp/liter, and see engines that will die young. My 4.1 liter I6 may only give 140hp, but it is still giving me 140hp 53 years later. Longevity and simplicity are far more important to me, so saying these older engines are lazy is telling me they are the ones to go for. Overstressed and underbuilt is not my jam, I want overbuilt and understressed.

Bravo.

[@Cruner62]

I qualified in the automotive Industry in the 60s - on one occasion I was dispatched to fix a broken down Vauxhall viva. When I arrived the guy looked at me a 19 year old apprentice and said " I checked all the electrics and could not find a fault and I am an electrical engineer" why did they send you. I lifted the bonnet and went straight to the distributor, the heel on the points (PN Lucas 732519) had worn down so that it would not produce a spark, mmm so I quickly adjusted the points 12 thou/" with a quick flip and short from the coil was the reassuring spark. I reassembled the distributor rotor and cap the engine fired up to the mans astonishment and a tip of £1 - alot of money in 1964.

Thank you for appreciating it! These videos are in the paid course (introduction to transmission 34 minutes and electrics 17 minutes, with an alternator video coming in the next few months) and there are no plans to put them on KZbin for now. But I will try not to disappoint KZbin viewers and in time, narrower videos about transmission and electrics will definitely appear here on the channel. I hope for your understanding.

And ironically, most of the times is not the engine that breaks but the plethora of sensors which always cost a ton of money

[@vasileoprinca7913]

This effort is appreciated. Congratulations. coming back, I think it can be a little more complicated, the operation of an engine by multiplying the sensors that can make the operation of an engine much more complicated. WE, IN EXCHANGE, WILL PAY WITH MONEY, WITH TIME AND OF COURSE WITH NERVES, ALL THIS IS NONSENSE!

[@trenton7]

Learned more from you about cars than my mechanic dad 😂

[@fastinradfordable]

Word bro My dad (like many others) “was an amazing mechanic” But he never even taught me to check oil! And he pawned off a car with blown head gasket on me when I was 16. When it was his ex wife who had blown it up!

[@davelowman3574]

When I was in school one guy had a neon srt 4 and no catalytic converter. The teacher did a sniffer exhaust gas test to show how it would fail. It passed with no cat, a perfectly tuned and maintained vehicle is most of the equation for clean air.

[@P_double_H]

You missed the Marriage Sadness Sensor (MSS) normally located on the passenger side of the rear seat. This sensor is also known by most people as Mother-In-Law and it works pretty well in telling you when your marriage is broken. I normally keep it disconnected as I don't care a bit about it.

[@kenfrank2730]

Funny! 🙂

[@квітиприрода]

Very important information about car sensors for my experience. Thanks!

[@douglaseuritt3919]

Great animation. I still prefer the old stuff. My daily driver is a 1983 CJ-8 and I can repair anything with ordinary tools and a shop manual. I like that fact a lot. Does it pollute more than a modern vehicle? NO. By the time you add up the environmental impact of the manufacture of that new car, my old Scrambler can run for a few centuries before there is an equivalence.

[@victorgor7734]

+++++!!!, умно ! , всего наилучшего Вам!

[@samkitty5894]

Some cars use TCV (Thermal Control Valve) in place of traditional mechanical engine thermostat. TCV is a sensor. They replaced $ 35 thermostat with TCV which can cost $ 2,000 or more to replace.

[@fastinradfordable]

I deleted every sensor from my engine And it’s been much more reliable. Never had a check engine light again!

[@carinfo3d-En]

You just needed to remove the check engine light bulb ;) (for people without a sense of humor - don't actually do this)

[@chriscarter9673]

How?

[@davidtiger]

Hey you deleted sensor? how is that possible? Konstantin

[@KevinMaxwell-o3t]

BS. No you didn't. Modern vehicles use fuel injection, and the systems cannot operate without input information. It is NOT possible to operate (or even start!) today's fuel-injected engines with all the sensors unplugged or removed. If you had watched this video you would have understood this, and avoided making a fool of yourself.

[@davidgrisez]

This video covers the basic sensors that are part of modern electronically controlled fuel injection. Also there is one more method of controlling the air flow to an engine besides the throttle plate in the throttle body. The other method is used by BMW cars that involves an additional camshaft to control how much the intake valves will open. BMW calls it valvetronic. Since I am 73 years old I remember my young years when all these sensors did not exist. Instead the air and fuel delivery was controlled by a carburetor and the spark ignition was controlled by a points and distributor device. These old systems did work, but by today's standards they are far too imprecise to achieve modern emission control and modern higher fuel economy.

Thank you for this. I'm depressed that car manufacturers like to hide the error code and that you need expensive equipment to read it from the car so you know what the problem is and often have to rely on the honesty of their local garage/dealer to tell them what the problem is. Most vehicles now have media displays that could easily display in any language under the sun what that error code translates to rather than just flash up dumb ass engine check light on the dashboard.

Another snippet of information is that if the Check Engine Light starts flashing, pull over as soon as possible and shut off the engine, as it's likely a misfire or a critical engine failure, pray it's the first and get it diagnosed to see if it's to do with the ignition system or a fuel injector.

If you have a car that quits running at normal operating temperature and will start after cool down look to your crankshaft position sensor not always are they placed at the position it shows in this video they are also placed in a position of your engine block and are Made of an electrode encased in plastic. The electrode cracks and the plastic expands creating a gap in the electrode thus shutting down your motor. When it cools the plastic contracts bringing the electrode back in contact with both halves allowing your motor to start again.
