The P0118 code means that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a voltage signal that’s too high from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor (below). In practical terms, the ECM believes ...

When I built my first serious race engine, a Honda B18C with Toda high-compression pistons and camshafts, a knife-edged crankshaft, a Supertech valvetrain, and a ported cylinder head, I threw a ...

In most automobiles, heat is inevitable. That's because an internal combustion engine (ICE) powers most vehicles. In an ICE, fuel burns to create power, and the process releases heat. A lot of heat.

Engineers design modern engines to run in a narrow temperature window where power, efficiency, and emissions all line up. The thermostat sits at the center of that control, opening and closing a ...

One of the oldest Mustang gripes we can think of is engine overheating. We can write this problem off as one of the penalties of old car ownership, but classic Mustangs were cursed with overheating ...

As an engineering professor for more than 40 years, my father often told me that the only difference between a difficult problem and an easy one is knowing the correct answer. While that axiom can be ...

A faulty Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor may lead the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine in certain GM vehicles to run hot or even overheat. To be clear, these vehicles are not under an ...

Your camper van's engine can overheat in the heat of the rocky canyons in Outbound. Here's how to cool it down and stop it ...

This Propylene-based engine coolant lives up to most of the company claims based on my testing so far. In my 2019 KTM 790 Adventure, the temperature ran 8 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the OEM ...

Picking the correct temperature thermostat for your classic car has the potential to be a bit confusing, especially when it's for a modified muscle car or hot rod. You know, a car that you can't just ...
