i like the worlds that paolo bacigalupi comes up with but they're always really bleak and none of the characters are really worth rooting for and in the end it all still goes to poo poo.

that works for some people but not for me.

i just want to read more about the cats that can adapt their color to their environment

CombatTheory, how in the devil would failure of the control circuits for my secondary air injector rob me of power? My understanding was that, for relatively modern cars, secondary Injection is just there to help burn incomplete emission products while the catalytic converter is still cold

I can understand an emission system like EGR loving things up because it actually affects the composition of air in the cylinders, but shouldn't secondary Injection kinda...not affect anything upstream?

SAS allows for a rich mixture in the engine while reading stochiometric at the o2 sensor.

Missing SAS results in a rich exhaust at the o2 sensor. Correction to lambda = 1 will lean out engine mixture, resulting in low performance, hot exhaust gas temperature, possibly premature wear and engine damage.
