The course teaches the basic theories such as atmospheric pressures, vacuum and venturi principals, which must be understood prior to working with the components and systems. Knowledge of basic engine operation and electrical systems is required. Emphasis is placed upon subject matter recommended by industry through the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). This course is designed to help students prepare for the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification exam in: Engine Performance. AT 261 incorporates substantial “hands on” training.
