When your engine starts to get tired, one of the first symptoms will be blowing smoke. Leakage past worn piston rings and the resulting excess oil film in the combustion area of course, (and worn bearings resulting in more oil splash at the back of the pistons which resulted in more oil...
Fifty cars were diagnosed, symptoms were classified into ten (10), and coded in binary forms, while likely faults were grouped into 10. The models were evaluated against relevant classification performance metrics and computational time. Similar performance metrics were obtained for the ECOC-SVM-OVO...
The mass airflow (MAF) sensor can trigger your car’s check engine light. The MAF monitors how much air enters the engine. It’s a part of the engine-management system, so your car wouldn’t be able to adjust to changes in altitude without it. Symptoms of an MAF failure include a ...
