Very succinctly put sir.

He was right about the ballcock, but missed the fact that the feedback from its position was the only 'function of control', whatever that means. There is no attempt to...

Convince me.
Pick a simple feedback system and show me why output measurement and feedback does not form the essential part of the control system. In...

On the whole, I’d rather people thought for themselves. I like to think that most people are capable of that.

Consider the humble MAF in its box, sitting next to hundreds of other MAFs in their...

Is this the right room for a five-minute argument?;)

Well it's most unlikely to be the differential. If it was, it would most likely be dependent on road speed not engine speed.

You are in luck, because the same noise should be evident when you...

The higher the better, the leakage is noisier and easier to find. Lots of garages use 100lb psi, but that's just to make the maths easy when doing the percentages;)

Nothing. If you think about...

Ah! a truce :D

The sad part of it all is that we may have driven the original poster away.

We may never know whether or not his alternator charging warning light was ever illuminated, or what...

Trevor,
I do not want to take up arms in a variant of the solenoid wars ;)

You may well be right Trevor, I'm just not brave enough to pin it down to an intermittent fault in the alternator's diode network. He certainly has a fault of some kind, and a voltage reading of just...

Well, it means unburnt hydrocarbons, but it might not be fuel, it might be oil vapour (any visible smoke?).

The other figures would help the diagnosis, if the CO was high then you would suspect...

To summarise, you found that you had approximately double the voltage drop when the indicator switch...

According to the Road & Track road test: 6,200rpm = 76mph in 2nd gear.

So 55mph would be a tad under 4,500 rpm.

The engine can stand it ....... but can the gearbox?
