The Learning Pathway

Jorge Menchu is the founder and owner of AES.  Since day one his main focus has been helping other technicians find answers.  

The Learning Pathway is Jorge's latest effort to help you find the answers.  It is an overview of the keys to integrate purposeful learning into everyday activities, especially diagnostics. It also gives you a framework and starting point for taking charge of your learning abilities and goals.  

The Learning Pathway defines a path to follow so you can become an expert learner and discover the answers to these questions:

1. Who has the potential to be your BEST diagnostic guru?
2. Your most inspirational Teacher?
3. Your most insightful Trainer?

 

 

The answers may surprise you!

Inert Gas Pack for Vacutec 

For years you have heard the argument about using nitrogen as opposed to shop-air for EVAP testing. Now you may hear about liquefied CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).

Like nitrogen, CO2 is an inert gas but is more compact than nitrogen.  It is compact enough to fit into a small container that mounts on the back of your Vacutec unit.  Additionally, it takes less liquefied CO2 to run a test than nitrogen.

Voltage Drop Tests
-by Jorge Menchu and Ralph Birnbaum
We are about to provide you with a simple, step-by-step process that will let you divide and conquer common automotive circuit problems. It is called a Voltage Drop Test, and it works!  Voltage drop tests are an effective way to test an electrical circuit’s ability to deliver power to electrical loads.

Cool Tools: LCD Borescope
Auto-oscopy — In Color!!
Sam Bell called the other day and told me that we ought to be doing an article on a borescope called the VOscope. It has a live LED color display instead of an eyepiece viewer. The Slammer says he uses his more that he thought he ever would, and that we ought to check it out.

Emerging Technology:  Modern Diesel Technology
In spite of their native torque and superior fuel efficiency, diesel engines spew some pretty toxic emissions that contain high levels of particulate matter (PM), oxides of nitrogen, sulfur, some HC and CO, and a slew of other malodorous nasties that contribute to smog and respiratory distress. In fact, one of the big problems with diesel exhaust is that the soot particles killing us may be too small to see. To paraphrase an old saying, “Out of sight, out of breath.”

Problem Solvers:  Sleeved, Sealed, Delivered
-by Sam Bell
Problem: You’ve replaced a radial shaft seal (circular lip seal) during a timing belt replacement, brake job, or transmission job, but the seal leaks oil following the repair. This is a common enough occurrence—especially on high-milers—even if you have used the required seal for the application, and have installed it correctly. (Occasionally, as our sidebar shows, your seal removal tool can gouge the sealing area, causing shaft damage and a leak.)

How Stuff Works: Super Sniffers
-by Ralph Birnbaum
Here's a crash course in oxygen sensors, describing the function of all major types currently in use, including the new wide range air/fuel sensor (WRAF). We've even thrown in a few troubleshooting tips for common problems.
