Roller rocker arm and valve train clearance element (commonly referred to as a "lifter". The lifter doesn't actually lift the valve off its seat, rather maintains minimal working clearance between the valve train components to ensure the valve closes fully without valve train noise. Truly remarkable little components.

Understanding Car Sensors: The Backbone of Modern Vehicles

Car sensors play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal performance, efficiency, and safety of modern vehicles. These electronic components monitor various aspects of a car's operation, collecting data that is used by the onboard computer to make informed decisions.

Here's a breakdown of some of the most common car sensors and their functions:

* Oxygen Sensor: Measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases to help regulate the air-fuel mixture for optimal combustion.

* Coolant Sensor: Monitors the temperature of the engine coolant to prevent overheating or freezing.

* Mass Air Flow Sensor: Measures the amount of air entering the engine to help calculate the appropriate fuel injection.
* Camshaft Sensor: Determines the position of the camshaft, which controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves.

* Crankshaft Sensor: Measures the rotational speed and position of the crankshaft, which is the main rotating part of the engine.

* NOX Sensor: Detects the levels of nitrogen oxides (NOX) in the exhaust gases to help reduce emissions.

* Vehicle Speed Sensor: Measures the speed of the vehicle, which is used for various functions such as cruise control, speedometer, and traction control.
* MAP Sensor: Measures the manifold absolute pressure, which is the pressure of the air-fuel mixture in the intake manifold.

* Throttle Position Sensor: Measures the position of the throttle plate, which controls the amount of air entering the engine.

* Engine Speed Sensor: Measures the rotational speed of the engine, which is used for various functions such as ignition timing and tachometer.

These sensors work together to provide the onboard computer with the information it needs to optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, emissions control, and overall vehicle safety. Any malfunctions in these sensors can lead to a variety of problems, including reduced fuel economy, poor performance, and even engine damage.
