INTRODUCTION Course Description This is a two-day hands-on course designed to provide you with maximum hands-on application of Engine Performance systems theory and operation as well as the relationships between systems and system types during normal operating conditions The first day is a combination of instructor review and lecture, instructor-led demonstrations, and hands-on workstations The second day is a continuation of the hands-on workstations and culminates in the final exam Course Objectives Upon completion of the Engine Performance Theory and Operation classroom, you will be able to: l Review Critical Concepts from the prerequisite WBT courses – Explain the critical concepts of Ignition Systems theory and operations – Explain the critical concepts of Fuel and Air Inlet System theory operations – Explain the critical concepts of Exhaust/Emissions Systems theory operations – Explain the relationships between the Air, Fuel, Ignition, and Exhaust/Emissions systems – Explain the purpose and function of the OBD II monitors l Locate appropriate information in the Ford Electronic Publications System l Perform and interpret measurement results using specific diagnostic tools – Perform and interpret measurement results for normal systems operations – Perform measurements on system operations under certain conditions – Select PIDs – Monitor systems operations using PID values – Perform Spark Duration and Peak kV tests – Explain the effect of certain conditions on systems operations – Explain how the systems compensate for certain conditions Intro-4 July, 2001 Theory and Operation INTRODUCTION Course Structure The Engine Performance Theory and Operation classroom course has the following structure: l Review – You will be asked to complete review questions that address content covered in the prerequisite courses Afterwards, the instructor will direct a review/lecture that includes critical concepts necessary for understanding the theory and operation of engine performance systems The review questions and individual student responses to these questions can be used as a guide to conduct this lecture In this way, the instructor can also address any “often-missed” review questions l Instructor Demonstration – The instructor will demonstrate WDS as it pertains to the workstations l Workstations – The instructor will present the concepts that are critical to successfully completing the workstations You will participate in two on-vehicle workstations, and two electronic resource activities each day l Worksheets – All workstations have an accompanying worksheet designed to complement the hands-on activities All workstations and worksheets are identified by number l Evaluation – At the end of the two-day course, the instructor will ask you to complete a final written test, which includes a WDS recorded session where you are asked to evaluate data, and a course evaluation Evaluation Strategies The final exam is given in the afternoon of Day Two It contains written questions to evaluate your skill and knowledge and a WDS recorded session You will complete the written evaluations at your seat The questions focus on areas identified during the two-day classroom session and require critical thinking skills to solve problems You must correctly answer 80% of the written questions in order to pass You may use all of the reference material available to you in the classroom, including workshop manuals and the student information book However, the sharing of answers with the other technicians will not be permitted Theory and Operation July, 2001 Intro-5 ... Evaluation – At the end of the two-day course, the instructor will ask you to complete a final written test, which includes a WDS recorded session where you are asked to evaluate data, and a course evaluation
