Actuators and EVAP Testing, Copyright 2004, 2016, All rights reserved.

This book on PDF gives an in depth look at the many actuators and solenoids that make up a modern automotive system. In this book, we’ll explore the different actuators’ theory of operation, as well as practical testing procedures that will make diagnosing them a lot easier. Additionally, the operation of the basic emission components is also covered. Be patient and take your time in absorbing the information. Hopefully this will make for a great bedside reading. Enjoy and broaden your mind.
