The eighties has been a good transition point for many, when the cult of American Top 40 went global. One of the hallmarks of this era is the birth of consciousness on how we as consumers kill the environment from the noxious gases produced by our hair sprays as well as our vehicles. I can still remember being taught in grade school about how humans and technology are the primary source of pollution and how technology cannot on its own get by without its by product. Presently, we can only look back and cringe at the time we cared more about how big our hairs are than if what we are doing is hurting the environment or not.

Lucky for us, in the past few years, car manufacturers have taken the path of being conscious of their environment as well. As more and more people exhibit interest in preserving the earth, a demand for companies supporting Sustainable Development also increases. Among the car manufacturing giants, Japanese car maker Honda blazes the trail with new innovations that does not compromise being nature friendly. So far, the company has introduced models that are equipped with earth friendly technology meeting EURO 4 emission regulations.

Two of the more popular "green" engines launched by Honda are the i-DSI engine and the i-VTEC engine.

The i-DSI Engine

The name i-DSI stands for Intelligent- Dual and Sequential Ignition. This Honda engine has garnered a "Low Emission Excellence" certificate from the Ministry of Transportation in Japan. The i-DSI is known and liked by many for its lightweight, compact high performance engine that is packed with a lot of horses and ample torque regardless of the RPM level. The efficient combustion of this engine at any rpm translates to cleaner exhaust gas emissions.

The i-VTEC Engine

Taking its name from its ability to change valve and timing on its intake and exhaust sides, the VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) engine is praised by many not only for performance but because of being a pioneer among other valve mechanisms. The i-VTEC engine can be found in Honda models like the Civic (for its 1.8 SOHC and 2.0 DOHC models), the Accord (for its 2.4 and 3.0 V6 models) and the CRV. This engine boasts of fuel efficiency while still delivering optimum performance, burning less fuel while producing less pollutants. When a lot of enthusiasts were thinking that there is no way the VTEC can get any better, Honda has produced its more intelligent twin with the i-VTEC, producing a more earth friendly and a more globally compliant system.

I feel that as more car manufacturers jump to the wagon of caring for our mother earth, we are given not only a good choice of what vehicles to buy but a chance to work for a worthwhile cause also. Indeed, technology must be harnessed as a means of improving function without compromising the ecosystem. The technology that blends seamlessly to ones lifestyle without posing any threat to the environment is definitely a vision worth toiling for.

Hyundai Santro Zing

Hyundai Santro Xing is one of the most popular cars in the hatchback category of India. Launched by Hyundai Motor India Limited in 2003, it is the revamped version of Santro, which was launched by the company in 1999. Xing is an affordable small car that is well equipped with superior technology, roomy interiors, and captivating exteriors. Over the passing time, the automobile has become a hot favorite amongst Indian city dwellers. The car has stood up to the expectations of thousands of Hyundai customers.

Powered by technologically-advanced Hyundai Epsilon engine, Santro Xing demonstrates the company's 'active intelligence' eRLX technology, which enables the engine to deliver better performance and mileage. The 1086 cc in-line 4 cylinders engine generates a power of 62 bhp @ 5500 rpm and 96 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. The standard 5-speed manual transmission, with overdrive, is behind quick responsiveness of the engine. The low-end torque and excellent throttle responses enables Santro Xing to deliver a good fuel economy.

An affordable small car that makes great sense, the Xing is an outstanding package comprising a well-equipped car, superior technology, roomy interiors and the stamp of reliability. Endearing itself to the auto buying public, the Santro Xing with its curvy, boxy shape sits tall, and has become a hot favourite and a convenient small family car for the Indian urban jungle. The Santro’s new face has infused fresh vitality into its sales and extended its road life for some more seasons.

The engine under the hood is a Hyundai Epsilon Engine, Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC), eRLX, in-line four, displacing 1,086 cc that outputs 62 bhp at 5,500 revs and 96 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Hyundai’s 'active intelligence' eRLX technology powers the engine to improve performance and mileage despite additional restrictions imposed by Euro III emission norms. Standard transmission is a 5-speed manual with overdrive, which is fast and responsive. The 4-speed automatic gearbox option on the GLS AT variant is best suited for urban commuters and does away with the hassle of frequent gear changing in city traffic. The hatchback features ventilated discs in the front and self-adjusting drums in the rear. With its low-end torque and excellent throttle responses, the Santro delivers good fuel economy (11/16 kmpl city/highway). The new model is longer by about 70 mm and wider by 30 mm.

The Santro is agile and handles well; its short wheelbase and turning radius makes it ideal for swift maneuvers. While cornering, the car displays some body lean, but when driven with some punch, the driver can experience a measure of road feel. The new Xing features world class McPherson Strut suspension in the front and 3-link offset coil springs in the rear, which even out the bumps on Indian roads. Wider tyres add to confidence levels while negotiating slippery surfaces. While power delivery is adequate, ride comfort for rear seat passengers is compromised, especially on bad roads.

Car Misfire after shifting?

I have a 1994 Suzuki Swift 1.3L, 4CYL, SOHC, manual. After shifting in low RPM there's multiple miss Ive changed cap and rotor, plugs, wires, set timing, new injector, and checked fuel pressure. any ideas would help.
There are no codes, or check engine light. I have not changed the timing belt.
It has around 137000 miles.

Is Your "check engine light" on? If yes, have you run a code check, Suzuki Sidekicks have a monitor for the spark and detonation. If cylinder 1 had a misfire, the check engine code would read "misfire cylinder 1".etc...etc. I need more information. Also , Have you replaced the timing belt recently?

Thanks for visiting!
