A system and method for limiting a speed of a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle includes an ECU in communication with and configured to control the engine. The ECU has a plurality of pins, a jumper plug connected to the plurality of pins, and a cap selected from a group of caps, each of which is configured to create a different limit circuit when installed on the jumper plug. The ECU is configured to limit the speed of the vehicle to a predetermined speed when the limit circuit is detected by the ECU based on the detected cap. The ECU, jumper plug, and cap are covered by a cover secured to the frame of the vehicle by fasteners that require a tool to remove.

Airtightness of a connector molding is improved. There is provided a connector molding in which a conductor and a fixing member are integrally molded with a molded body including a connector portion. The conductor is fixed to the fixing member, and is integrally molded with the molded body in a state in which an external connection end portion protrudes into a space within the connector portion. A part of the fixing member is exposed to the space within the connector portion and the remaining portion is covered by the molded body, or the entire fixing member is covered by the molded body.

The present invention provides improved auxiliary fuel tank control systems and methods that avoid the need for locating, identifying, and tapping into a wire leading from the sending unit of the vehicle's primary fuel tank by connecting directly to a diagnostic port of the vehicle which is in communication with the output from the sending unit. Based on information received from the sending unit, embodiments of the invention may automatically cause fuel to be pumped from an auxiliary tank to the primary tank when the amount of fuel in the primary tank drops below a threshold.

A system and methods for a turbo-boost control system are disclosed for providing a driver of a vehicle with greater control over vehicle performance. The turbo-boost control system instructs an electronic control unit of the vehicle to increase the manifold pressure to a higher level before releasing the pressure through a waste gate so as to provide a greater power output of the engine. The turbo-boost control system includes a control module, a wiring harness, and a signal adjuster. The wiring harness couples the control module with a turbo inlet pressure sensor, a manifold absolute pressure sensor, and an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The control module sends signals to the electronic control unit based on input readings from the turbo inlet pressure sensor and the manifold absolute pressure sensor. The signal adjuster includes a rheostat that enables manual adjustment of the power output of the engine.

A connector for connecting an electrical conductor to a glow plug of a diesel engine comprises an electrical receptacle terminal, a housing capable of receiving a terminal portion of the glow plug, and a bushing slidably mounted around the housing by engagement of a longitudinal guide rib disposed on an outer surface of the housing in a longitudinal guide groove disposed on an inner surface of the bushing. The housing has a substantially cylindrical tubular body containing the electrical receptacle terminal with an end opening defined by a pair of elastically deformable axial arms capable of engaging the terminal portion. The bushing is movable with respect to the housing from a pre-locking position to a locking position only when the housing is in a correctly mounted position on the terminal portion.

A sensing unit that provides fixed arrangement of crankshaft and camshaft position sensors is disclosed. The sensing unit attaches to the front timing cover to replace the existing distributor so that the position of sensing unit is aligned according to the tight tolerances of the existing distributor with respect to the camshaft and crankshaft. The sensing unit has a housing with the mounting positions for the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors. The sensing unit can also include a camshaft reluctor within the housing. A crankshaft reluctor is installed onto the engine crankshaft for detection by the crankshaft sensor. The sensing unit is also installed in conjunction with a wiring harness converter that allows a different engine control unit to be used.

Provided is an electric throttle valve 10 including: a valve body 16 including an accommodating space 19 therein and having an opening 25 that faces the accommodating space 19; a cover 11 secured to the valve body and covering the opening 25; and an electric motor 12 and a sensor 60 installed in the accommodating space 19, the cover 11 including a connector 30 for connection of a wiring between the electric motor 12 or the sensor 60 and outside, the connector 30 being installed in a desired direction with respect to the cover 11 and secured to the cover 11.

The present disclosure provides an intake air flow rate measuring device. The intake air flow rate measuring device includes a flange, a casing, a flow rate sensor, a humidity sensing element, an element terminal, and a humidity terminal. The humidity terminal is spaced away from the element terminal. A portion of the casing between the element terminal and the humidity terminal is defined as a suppressing portion, and a cross-section of the suppressing portion is defined as a suppressing portion cross-section. An end portion of the casing close to the flange is defined as a base portion, and a cross-section of the base portion is defined as a base portion cross-section. The suppressing portion cross-section is set to be smaller than the base portion cross-section.
