The Engine Performance Training System + Start/Stop and HVAC (GM 1.4 GDI) (EM-140S-GM06A_053338) is a fully operational Chevy Cruze 1.4-liter engine bench with GDI and start/stop technology. As Consulab’s first engine bench to feature two pedals (brake and accelerator), it allows instructors to conduct stall tests, load the engine, and perform a basic “road test” directly in the classroom up to 20 mph, enabling the STOP/START function to operate realistically. Integrated with the new ConsuLink™ student learning platform, this trainer enhances student engagement and facilitates teaching of advanced driveability, engine performance, and HVAC (air conditioning) systems in a safe, controlled environment. This self-contained training package provides everything needed for comprehensive engine diagnostics, using OEM components to replicate real-world vehicle operations for immersive hands-on learning.

Educational Advantages:

• A self-contained total training package providing everything needed for engine diagnostics. Aligns with ASE Education Foundation and Red Seal tasks addressing electrical & engine performance
• Over 39 student activities with instructor guides, case studies, fault insertion, diagrams, and built in system schematics to guide the students and the instructor that saves many hours of organization and preparation by instructors
• Perform a basic “road test” in your classroom and demonstrate the Stop-Start and engine auto-stop features. By attaining all the enabled criteria you can force the engine to auto-stop at a “red light/stop sign”. You can then demonstrate all the different disable criteria that turns the system off.
