PX-MiEV is a 4WD electric concept car with a plug-in hybrid system that has been equipped with Mitsubishis unique technology, the Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC), as the Lancer Evo.
On the front is equipped with a detection camera that can mendeksi driver fatigue, and then the car will warn the driver that are considered exhausted with a vibration or sound. Glass and the paint was made to reduce the heat, so they can make the passengers comfortable.
The ability of electric motors, Permanent Magnet Synchronous could produce up to 60 kw power and torque of 200 nm, on both front and rear wheels, with a range of 50 km.
As for supporting the electric motor, 1.6-liter MIVEC engine with 85 kw power and torque of 125 nm. So that the merger would make the PX-powered MiEV at once economical and environmentally friendly fuel. Not enough, Regenerative Braking feature found on the PX-MiEV can also help recharge the batteries to increase the use of electric motors compared to gasoline engines.
Mitsubishi claims fuel consumption PX-MiEV reach 50 km per liter and with electric motors that can be recharged at home.

2011 Lincoln MKX Review
 |
| The 2011 Lincoln MKX sports the new Lincoln grille. |
Its certainly more contemporary (who knew?) than the first MKX grille, meant to evoke a Continental 20 years more recent. Our review of that MKX was almost three years ago, so it was time for a refresher run, arranged through Fiesta Lincoln in Mesa, Arizona, who let us have a week in one.

And, like so many vehicles, base price buys you a nicely loaded machine. In fact, ours had no options on it whatsoever. The standard equipment? 18-inch premium painted aluminum wheels, fog lamps, heated power windows with memory and security approach lamps, a power liftgate, dual exhausts with chrome tips, leather seats (10-way power adjustable, heated and cooled for the driver and front passenger), the MyLincolnTouch system with AM/FM/Sirius/CD/mp3/SYNC audio, tilt/telescope steering column, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, remote keyless entry and start, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, reverse sensing system, a full compliment of airbags, anti-theft and tire pressure monitoring.

The only thing that put the total MSRP over $40,000 was the $850 destination and delivery charge. Otherwise, the car began and ended at $39,415. A screaming deal in this class.
Yes, you can spend more. Theres a Premium Package, an Elite Package, a Limited Edition Package, upgraded wheels, DVD systems, a trailer towing package, a wood package...you can break $50,000 without even checking the all-wheel-drive option. And if you do, youll have all the bells and whistles.
But if you dont, if you just buy the base 2011 Lincoln MKX, youll be getting a terrific luxury crossover for less than $40,000 (plus destination and delivery). And these days, thats gotta count for something.

Replacing the spark for a general description of the car
For many motorists service the machine - it's a big problem. How could handle himself, for example, replacing candles? Let's examine this process by the example of car Toyota. The causes leading to the output of a candle out of action, may be different. For example, the formation of carbon deposits on the surface of the cone insulator itself candles. Or the formation of the electrode conductivity plot of fuel particles, dust, oil residue, which leads to short-circuiting the electrodes. Sometimes it just increases the gap due to electroerosive wear surface of the electrodes. Possible cause could be a mechanical failure insulator, electrodes, body candle or candles violation airtight connections. Before replacement, the candles can turn out and carefully inspect. Identifying causes of failure will help in future to avoid similar situations. Insulator properly functioning spark a light brown or grayish tint. If, however, candles are replaced, perform the following steps. In order to replace the candles, make sure that the engine of the car cooled down, and the ignition is turned off. The first thing to undoing the candle with a high-voltage wire. Removed it by pulling and simultaneous Curling. This is followed by gently remove the dirt accumulated in the spark plug recess. By the way, to work with candles to use a special key, the head of which would weaken the thread of candles, without damaging the insulator. When the thread is weakened, it is safe to turn out the candle completely. Before installing a new spark sure to check it for defects. Then measure the spark gap with a special wire probe, but if there is none, you can use a simple flat. It must fit, without any effort to pass between the central and lateral electrodes. Now you can insert a new candle in place. Please note that threads from the first time entered correctly, otherwise, it can be damaged. Next, wrap the candle all the way without the aid of special devices, with his hands. Then, using a torque wrench, tighten the spark plug to the end. The most comprehensive guide to repairing the WHA with photos and comments you can buy in the Internet book store on cars.
