Method For Finding Any Automotive Term

More comprehensive than any Glossary could possibly be, the search engine at Google.com will find any Automotive Term you need, if you know how to use it properly. Here's the way I do it: Go to Google.com's main page and enter the term you want (in quotes, like "EGR valve") plus the words "automotive" and "definition" (not in quotes). So in the case of EGR Valve, your search box would look like this:


  "EGR Valve" automotive definition

For your convenience, here is a direct link to Google.com's search box.

The main problems with this method are that you sometimes have to wade through a number of useless links, and you don't know how reliable the links are. But if you do use this method, you can eventually find anything you want.
