Greetings, everyone!
The Automotive Training Group (ATG) has the following
classes available for the month of January 2018. All classes
run from 6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. each night for both
evenings, except where indicated below.
FORD ENGINE PERFORMANCE: This all-new Ford
Engine Performance training manual and seminar covers the
evolving failures of both new and legacy engine management
systems. We provide in-the-trenches explanations of systems
and failures, including case studies that show the latest
tricks for finding root causes fast. This isn't just a
summary of OEM information and training material, but was
built by analyzing actual diagnostic struggles and
documenting the shortest diagnostic paths.
*January 10th & 11th: McAllen, TX
DIRECT INJECTION & AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS
DIAGNOSTICS: This all-new training seminar is the
third in our popular Import series. Gasoline Direct
Injection (GDI) is simple in design but difficult to
diagnose because the traditional shortcuts of swapping out
parts and disassembling for inspection are not practical.
This is why we have adapted ATG's 'High Level Indicator'
approach for ruling out possible causes before parts come
off. The same approach applies to induction system
diagnostics where repair information is vague, component
access is difficult, and feedback loops are not always
available. For all systems covered, the approach is first
universal, and becomes manufacturer-specific only after the
possible cause and tool/test lists have been completed and
trimmed down. This seminar and manual were built by
analyzing actual diagnostic struggles and documenting the
shortest diagnostic paths for these systems. Because of this
practical approach, you won't be buried in useless
engineering detail -- only useful facts that you can measure
and that will help guide your diagnostic path. This seminar
continues the ATG tradition of saving you diagnostic time.
We're in the 'wasted test prevention' business, and we hope
you can attend!

GENERAL MOTORS DRIVABILITY & CODE
DIAGNOSTICS: This all-new General Motors training
seminar is the latest installment in our Domestic Engine
Performance series, with topics arranged to maximize
diagnostic efficiency by starting every discussion with
'High Level Indicators'. You can follow a 4-hour flowchart
and fix 80% of the codes and drivability complaints, or you
can practice the high level approach to narrow down possible
cause lists and sort through what's left in a fraction of
the time. Every year General Motors engine management
systems become more complex while available system
information and diagnostic instructions become more
generalized. This seminar and manual were researched in the
shop, and not from published repair information. Using this
method, we've developed repeatable GM diagnostics based on
actual failure patterns and proven best practices.
