Diagnostics

Over the last 20 years electronics have played an ever increasing part in motor vehicles, with the onset of electronic ignition and sequential electronic fuel injection it has become almost impossible to diagnose and repair modern motor vehicles without very expensive, complicated computer based electronic equipment, all this equipment is available at IMS Churchside.

The engine management system of a modern car is designed to deliver very precise quantities of fuel into the engine and ignite this charge at a very precise instant in order to ensure clean combustion and smooth engine performance whilst looking at the gaseous content of the exhaust system to ensure emission standards are met, this system takes thousands of readings from numerous sensors every second and failure or partial failure of any of these systems can be almost impossible to diagnose without specialist equipment, if your car is not running quite right, maybe has a 'flat spot' or stalls at traffic lights, let us test and repair it for you.
