You are now the owner of a computer-simulated, four-cylinder engine. It has electronic ignition, a single barrel carburetor and is water cooled. With proper maintenance, it should run for 200,000 miles unless you allow it to become an "Injured Engine." [GET READY] Your copy of Injured Engine disk has a standard version with six-color graphics on the first side and an enhanced version capable of displaying double-hi res and sixteen-color graphics on the other. If you have an Apple //e or //c with 128k you will be able to use the enhanced version or may use the regular version (regular hi-res graphics) if you prefer. NOTE: You cannot boot the second side, you must insert the first side first then it will prompt you what to do next depending on what system you have. [CONTROLS] When the option screen first appears, select either keyboard, mouse or joystick mode by moving the arrow-shaped cursor to highlight the desired option using the left and right arrow keys, then hit the space bar to enter your selection. If the keyboard mode is chosen, continue to use the leftand right arrow keys to move the arrow-shaped cursor around the screen. The space bar will enter your selections. If you select the other modes, use either the mouse or joystick to move the cursor around the screen. Press the mouse or joystick button in order to make a selection. Two different simulations can be played. [ON THE ROAD or IN THE SHOP] "On The Road" simulation allows you to become familiar with the basic operation of an engine and its systems. You can learn to diagnose different engine problems and see what is needed to correct them. Select from among three levels of difficulty by moving the arrow-shaped cursor to highlight a selection 1,000 miles-easy 40,000 miles-medium 80,000 miles-hard NOTE: Be sure to select the proper mode (joystick, mouse or keyboard) before entering choice of simulation. Press the button or space bar to start the simulation. The more miles on the engine and its parts, the greater your challenge. To select the desired level of difficulty, move the cursor until your selection is highlighted, then press the space bar or button to start the "On The Road" simulation. If you select the "In The Shop" simulation, you are presented with engine problems you are to correct as fast as you can. To select this simulation, move the cursor until "In The Shop" is highlighted, then press the space bar or button to start the "On The Road" simulation time clock. You start with one engine problem and progress to repairing five problems. Your total time will be given after repairing the fifth problem. [ENGINE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS] To select icons, move the cursor to the desired box and press the button. To select the icons with the keyboard just press the appropiate key. Keyboard Mouse/Joystick Function -------- -------------- -------- T Select icon Select, look at text I Magnifying glass icon Inspect part(s) R Wrench icon Repair/replace part(s) P Clipboard icon Look at price list E, esc Engine icon Go to main screen A, S Up arrow icon Scroll text back Z, X Down arrow icon Scroll text forward Y Inverse yes icon Yes N Inverse no icon No O ]|[ (icon) Open throttle C ]\[ (icon) Close throttle [ENGINE SYSTEMS] To repair and view engine systems, move the cursor on the main engine screen to the system you want to see. This system will then be highlighted. To go to that system screen, press the button or space bar. Engine Part System ----------- ------ Oil Pan Lubrication System Pistons Combustion Chambers Distributor Ignition System Carburetor Carbutetor Air Cleaner Fuel System Radiator Cooling System Exhaust Pipe Exhaust System [TEXT] The text begins with an overview of how a particular system functions and explains its individual parts if they are selected with the cursor. Text also describes symptoms of engine difficulties common to those parts. There is text for every part listed in each system. The text may be scrolled by moving the cursor to the top or bottom of the scroll bar and pressing the button. When using the keyboard press "A" to scroll text back, "Z" to scroll text forward, "S" to move one page up and "X" to move one page down. [INSPECT] When you inspect parts using the magnifying glass icon, the condition of the part is given. Inspecting parts cost money when plaaying the "On The Road" simulation, but adds time instead when playin the "In The Shop" simulation. [REPAIR/REPLACE] When you repair or replace a part using the wrench icon, maintenance will be preformed and costs or time will be added depending upon the simulation chosen. [PRICE LIST] The clipboard icon will call up a price list showing inspect and repair prices for all parts. [ENGINE ICON] Selecting the engine icon will call up the main engine screen. [INSTRUMENT PANEL] Gauges on the instrumental panel, once you learn how to read them, indicate how well or poorly the engine is running. - If the RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) Guage on the left begins to run over the 5000 RPM mark (the redline), this will eventually cause engine damage. - The Oil Gauge should register within the brackets. A low reading, except when the engine is running at a low RPM, means too little oil pressure. A high reading indicates too much oil pressure. - The Temperature Guage should register at the middle bracket; lower means the engine is too cold and higher, too hot. - The Battery Guage should register just above center. Lower indicates that the battery is being discharged, while higher means that the battery is being overcharged. - The Car Symbol serves as the pollution indicator. If clouds of exhaust start appearing, the engine is generating too much pollution and must be repaired. Observe the colors to diagnose the engine problem. - Total Cost operates during the "On The Road" simulation. Efficient engines will be less expensive to run than inefficient engines. - The Timer operates during the "In The Shop" simulation, where you are effecting repairs against a clock to keep costs down. - During the "In The Shop" simulation, there will be a check box for each problem to be solved. After each problem is solved, its respective box will be checked. - MPG (Miles Per Gallon) shows how the engine is utilizing fuel. - Throttle. First select throttle using the cursor. Next hold down the button and move the mouse or joystick to adjust the throttle to the desired position, then release the button. When using the keyboard, press "O" to open or "C" to close. - Start/Stop. Using the cursor, select "Start;" then push the button to start. After the engine is running, you may select "Stop" using the cursor and then pressing the button or space bar to stop. - Options. Moving the cursor to "Oprions" and pushing the button or space bar brings you back to the screen. [FEATURES] - To check the oil, use the dipstick. - When the fan in the cooling system is inspected, the status of the fan/alternator belt is given. [HINTS] Certain parts make distinctive sounds when broken. Use these sounds to quickly identify a broken part. Remember: Some engine disorders can lead to other related difficulties. For example, a cracked radiator will lose coolant as the engine runs, causing the engine to overheat; this in turn damages other parts.
