Name: Fundamentals of Engine Performance
Description: Who Should Attend Technicians who will be performing diagnosis and repairs on components and systems that are associated with the Speed Density Fuel Injection System and Mass Air Flow (MAF) Fuel injection systems utilized on Chrysler group vehicles must complete this self-study course. In this course the technician will also have on understanding of electrical components related to the system. When the electrical section is complete, the technician will be able to properly diagnose an electrical concern for this system. Benefits This course introduces the technician to the principles of the Chrysler Speed Density fuel injection system including methods of determining fuel and spark requirements, idle control, and principles of major input and output circuit operation along with the major subsystems operated by the PCM. This course introduces the technician to the principles of the Mass Airflow (MAF) fuel injection system including methods of determining fuel and spark requirements, idle control, and principles of major input and output circuit operation along with the major subsystems operated by the PCM/ECM.
