5.0 out of 5 stars The big picture with fine detail., March 10, 2000
This review is from: Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management: How to Understand, Service and Modify (Paperback)
This book is geared not to the performance enthusiast, but to the veteran trouble-shooter and D.I.Y. home mechanic. Wonderfully clear briefs and specific testing procedures. In-depth theory and operation. Does not pretend nor try to cover specific data of all cars. This is the big picture, and then disected component by component. I found using the book with the factory manual worked best.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well written and informative book., July 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management: How to Understand, Service and Modify (Paperback)
This book covers both electronic and manual fuel injection. It gives a general explanation of how each type works with a more detailed description of each type later in the book. There are trouble-shooting guides and testing techniques are included. My only two criticisms of this book are: The trouble-shooting guides are not as comprehensive as they could be. The chapter on tuning basically tells you not to bother and includes very few useful tips. Unless you are interested in the performance tuning of your fuel injection system this is an excellent book and well worth owning.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good explanation of BOSCH fuel injection systems, June 7, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management: How to Understand, Service and Modify (Paperback)
A very good book that explains how all the bosch fuel injection systems work. It has some diagnosis charts that take you step by step on diagnosis and repair of the different parts of the injection systems. However, the author missed on how to internally tune the volumetric air meter, which is the most important piece of the system. The performance tuning part gives you some ideas on how to modify your car injection system. I used it to modify the system on my car, with some gain in performance. It has a lot of pictures and explains very well what it covers.
