This book is part of the Pearson Automotive Professional Technician Series

This series provides full-colour, media-integrated solutions for today's students and instructors covering all eight areas of ASE certification, plus additional titles covering common courses. Peer reviewed for technical accuracy, the series and the books in it represent the future of automotive textbooks.

This title is designed to be a two-semester text and covers the fundamental ASE/NATEF designated topic of Automotive Engine Performance (A8), including courses in Automotive Engine Performance, Automotive Technology, Fuel and Emissions, Automotive Emission Control Systems, Automotive Performance and Drivability, and Computer Engine Control Systems.

Automotive Engine Performance, 5th Edition covers both the fundamental and advanced engine performance topics, as well as the practical skills that students must master to be successful in the industry. Written by a service technician and an automotive instructor and up to date with the latest automotive engine performance systems used since 2005, the text is revered as the best available text on the subject. Formatted to appeal to today's technical trade students, Halderman's text uses helpful tips and full-colour, step-by-step visuals to bring concepts to life and guide students through the procedures they'll use on the job.
