Automobile engines have undergone tons of changes over the years, primarily to make them more efficient. For the most part though, engine changes result from a string of iterative improvements on ...

The basic difference between direct injection (DI) and the port-fuel injection (PFI) systems we've become familiar with since the mid-1980s is that PFI sprays fuel into the intake manifold (behind ...

Port fuel injection (PFI) was a major milestone in the early '80s. The integration of PFI rapidly changed the way fuel was delivered by increasing fuel economy and improving engine performance. Even ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Most new petrol cars you see today are equipped with fuel injection systems or injector motors. These have almost wholly supplanted older carburetor motors. They are more reliable, effective, and ...
