Engine System
The Beating Heart of a Vehicle
The engine is the heart of a vehicle and receives temperature, position and air flow data from other vehicle systems and uses this information to transform air and fuel into power and motion. An engine is composed of two different sections – the engine block and cylinder head – that work in harmony to create the power needed to propel a vehicle down the road.
SYSTEM Summary
How Does a Vehicle’s Engine Work?
Every hour, tens of thousands of miniature explosions take place within each engine cylinder. These explosions force a complex system of pistons, valves, camshafts and crankshaft to work in unison to ignite the fuel and generate engine power, which is then transferred to the transmission via a torque converter and finally to the wheels.
Wells Vehicle Electronics offers a wide range of sensors for engine management needs. We manufacture and rigorously test our products to meet or exceed OE fit, form and function so drivers can feel confident their replacement parts will perform to the highest standard.
