About Electronic Timing Controllers

The Volvo electronic timing controller functions to assist with controlling fuel delivery in a diesel engine.  The electronic timing controller ensures that a constant supply of fuel is injected at the right proportions at the right time in order for combustion to occur, regardless of the speed the engine is rotating.  It helps when cold starting the engine; to prevent the engine from overheating; and to maintain a constant engine speed. 

Situated on the fuel pump, the electronic timing controller is controlled by the engine's primary drive gear. 

Crucial to engine start up, idling, drive and emissions, the electronic timing controller works in conjunction with the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and various sensors to ensure the precise amount of fuel is injected at the right time for the rotational speed of the engine. 

Signs that there may be a fault with the electronic timing controller are white smoke from the exhaust; a knocking sound from the engine; a sluggish and struggling engine; or unusual amounts of black smoke from the exhaust. When you need to replace the electronic timing controller in your vehicle, buying a good quality Volvo electronic timing controller is the ideal choice.

Volvo trivia

• The Volvo 240 is considered the benchmark by which all car safety standards are set. The 240 is so well identified with driver, passenger, and pedestrian safety that the US government even purchased 24 of them just to test for themselves how safe they were.
• There's a theatre in Ireland where the patrons all sit in seats from the Volvo S80 luxury saloon. A local Volvo dealer saw the seats being used at the launch of the S80 and asked Volvo if he could have some for his local theatre.
• Although many of their inventions were released to the public, Volvo has been responsible for so many cutting-edge inventions in car manufacturing that they have had to build an entire company division to deal solely with patent infringement.
• Volvo invented the lambda sond, which is a probe that senses oxygen. It is responsible for cutting down exhaust emissions by 90%, and has been called "the most significant breakthrough ever made in the control of vehicle exhaust emissions." Volvo waived the patent rights on this, and now almost every car on the planet has one installed.
• To test the strength of their vehicles, Volvo puts them through rigorous tests, including using a machine in their Gothenburg lab that was designed to test how buildings cope in earthquakes.
