The leading authority on service and repair procedures for contemporary automobiles remains the most technically comprehensive on the market! The fourth edition of Automotive Technology: A Systems Approach has been updated to reflect the most recent technological developments in the industry and features state-of-the-art coverage of hybrid vehicles, GPS systems, electronic ignition systems, DIS, fuel injection systems, and more. This enhanced presentation of the theory, diagnosis, and service of automobiles and light trucks takes into account all the latest trends, including variable valve timing, lift and variable compression ratios, fuels and alternative energy sources, as well as the latest engine designs and technologies. The "must have" information contained in this book will help readers understand and efficiently diagnose and service yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's automotive systems and vehicles.
Vast coverage of topics, comparable to Automotive Technology by J. Halderman. Good theory explanation and hands-on step by step, although some procedures feel lacking and hurried.
Beautiful photos and colorful illustration makes this a delectable read.

I've only read about 100 pages so far, but I've already learned so much. This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn how cars work! It's written in plain English and builds from first principles on simple concepts, which makes it pretty easy to understand. For the parts that are confusing, I like asking questions to ChatGPT or Grok to help me learn. Overall it's a great book I would absolutely recommend it!
So far I've read seven hundred pages or so during the course of my class. I plan to read the whole thing. The most comprehensive book on automotives I've seen.
