Intake Manifold
Distributes the air-fuel mixture to each cylinder evenly.
Radiator
Dissipates heat from the engine coolant.
Exhaust Manifold
Collects exhaust gases from the cylinders and directs them to the exhaust system.
Catalytic Converter
Reduces harmful emissions by converting exhaust gases into less harmful substances.
Oil Filter
Cleans the engine oil from contaminants.
Fuel Pump
Delivers fuel from the tank to the engine's fuel injection system.
Oil Pump
Circulates engine oil to lubricate moving parts.
Engine Control Unit (ECU)
The vehicle's main computer responsible for controlling engine performance and emissions.
Knock Sensor
Detects engine knocking and allows the ECU to prevent it.
Throttle Body
Regulates the amount of air flowing into the engine.
Oxygen Sensor
Measures the oxygen content in the vehicle's exhaust gases.
Serpentine Belt
Drives various engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor.
Timing Belt/Chain
Maintains the timing between the crankshaft and the camshaft for proper engine operation.
Coolant Pump
Circulates coolant through the engine and the radiator to remove excess heat.
Crankshaft
Converts the reciprocating motion of pistons into rotational motion.
Spark Plug
Ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
Camshaft
Controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves.
Cylinder
Houses the piston and where the combustion process takes place.
Alternator
Generates electricity to power the vehicle's electrical systems and charge the battery.
Valve
Regulates the flow of gases into and out of the combustion chamber.
Turbocharger
Increases engine power by forcing additional air into the combustion chamber.
Thermostat
Regulates the engine's operating temperature by controlling coolant flow.
EGR Valve
Recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases back to the engine's intake to reduce NOx emissions.
Fuel Injector
Delivers fuel to the combustion chamber.
Connecting Rod
Connects the piston to the crankshaft and transfers motion.
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Measures the mass of air entering the engine's intake system.
Piston
Converts the expanding force of gases into mechanical energy.
Air Filter
Cleans the incoming air before it enters the engine's intake system.
Battery
Stores electrical energy to start the engine and power electrical components.
