An apparatus for remote identification of combustion performance of a
vehicle is provided. The apparatus comprises a vehicle with a throttle
device for control of fuel into a multiple cylinder engine of the
vehicle. A sensor is provided in operative communication with the vehicle
for the purpose of analyzing a vehicle combustion parameter, wherein the
sensor can sense combustion of at least one cylinder of the engine. A
remote communication device is provided in operative communication with
the combustion sensor for communicating the combustion parameter. A
remote monitoring network is provided for receiving the combustion
parameter from the remote communication device over a network to enable
remote monitoring of vehicle performance.
