+Tim Hightower is the only Cardinals rookie running back ever to have scored a touchdown in each of his first two games with the franchise.
-The '''F''' engine family from [[Mazda]] is a [[straight-4]] [[piston engine]].  This motor was found in the [[Mazda B-Series]] truck and 1984–2002 [[Mazda 626]] families.  These are entirely different engines than the [[Mazda B engine]] family.
+In five games with the Cardinals, Hightower has 36 carries with 110 yards with 5 touchdowns, two in Week 5 versus the [[Buffalo Bills]]. He also has 10 receptions for 92 yards.
-There were four basic head types within the F range, the [[diesel]] [[SOHC]] 8-valve, the [[petrol]] [[SOHC]] 8-valve, [[petrol]] [[SOHC]] 12-valve, and the [[petrol]] [[DOHC]] 16-valve. These heads came attached to multiple variations of the different blocks and strokes. Only the [[petrol]] 8-valve and 12-valve shared the same gasket pattern.
-==MA==
+==References==
+{{reflist}}
-This engine is only a predecessor to the F-series engines, in no other way related.
-This 2.0&nbsp;L (1970&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup>) was designated '''MA'''. Bore was 80&nbsp;mm and stroke was 98&nbsp;mm.  This [[SOHC]] engine with a [[carburetor|2&nbsp;barrel carburettor]] produced 103&nbsp;[[horsepower|hp]] (76&nbsp;kW) and {{convert|123|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}}.  A more fuel-efficient [[carburetor|1&nbsp;barrel]] version produced 90&nbsp;hp (66&nbsp;kW). Fuel injection was available in 81–82. Other capacities were available in some markets, such as the F/NA 1.6&nbsp;L.

+{{Cardinals2008DraftPicks}}
-The smallest of the second generation of F-family engines was the F6, a destroked and debored version of the base FE&nbsp;2.0. It replaces the F/NA&nbsp;1.6 from the previous generation. It was an 8-valve [[SOHC]] engine with an 81&nbsp;mm bore and 77&nbsp;mm stroke, with a compression ratio of 8.6:1. Output was 73&nbsp;hp (53&nbsp;kW) at 5500&nbsp;[[rpm]] and {{convert|89|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} at 3500&nbsp;rpm.

+[[Category:Richmond Spiders football players]]
-A destroked FE, the F8 had a capacity of 1.8&nbsp;litres, and came in several configurations including a 12-valve head and [[fuel injection]] later in its life. It had a bore of 86&nbsp;mm and a stroke of 77&nbsp;mm, with a compression ratio of 8.6:1. Power output was 80&nbsp;hp (60&nbsp;kW) at 5500&nbsp;rpm and {{convert|98|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} at 2500 for the 8-valve SOHC carburetted versions.<br>

-Applications:
-* 1983–1991 [[Mazda Capella]]/[[Mazda 626|626]]
-===F8-DOHC===
-The '''F8-DOHC''' is a destroked version of the '''FE-DOHC''' displacing 1789&nbsp;[[Cubic centimetre|cc]] – 1.8L. It shares the common bore of 86&nbsp;mm with other F-blocks and has a shortened stroke of 77&nbsp;mm. It uses the same exhaust cam, but a different intake cam with less lift and a long, single-runner intake manifold. The '''F8''' is usually identified by its unpainted cam cover. Output was 113&nbsp;hp (84&nbsp;kW) at 6000&nbsp;rpm and {{convert|115|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} at 5000&nbsp;rpm. It is usually found in wagon variants.
-Applications:
-* 1988–1996 [[Mazda Capella]]/[[Mazda 626|626]]
-==FE==
-The 2.0&nbsp;L (1998&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup>) '''FE''' was very different with a square 86&nbsp;mm bore and stroke.  It was an 8-valve [[SOHC]] engine for front-wheel drive and rear wheel drive pickup use.  Output was 90&nbsp;hp (66&nbsp;kW) for the 1&nbsp;barrel [[carburetor]] version, 100&nbsp;hp (74&nbsp;kW) at 5600&nbsp;rpm and 156&nbsp;N·m at 3700&nbsp;rpm for the 2&nbsp;barrel [[carburetor]] version, or 118&nbsp;hp (88&nbsp;kW) at 5300&nbsp;rpm and 178&nbsp;N·m at 3700&nbsp;rpm with [[fuel injection]] and higher compression (10:1 vs 8.6:1).<br>
-Applications:
-* 1983–1991 [[Mazda Capella]]/[[Mazda 626|626]]
-* 1985–1987 [[Mazda B-Series]]
-* 1983–1990 [[Mazda Bongo|Mazda E-series]]
-* 1981–1990 [[Mazda 929]]
-===FET===<!-- This section is linked from [[FET]] -->
-The 2.0&nbsp;L (1998&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup>) Fuel Injected, [[turbocharged]] '''FET''' version of the FE produced 135&nbsp;hp (101&nbsp;kW) at 5250&nbsp;rpm and {{convert|175|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} at 2800&nbsp;rpm. It was a variant of the 8-valve SOHC '''FE''' Featuring a small turbocharger and no intercooler producing 7&nbsp;[[Pounds per square inch|psi]] of boost. As such it features the same 86&nbsp;mm bore and stroke of the FE. The Japanese variant of this engine was dubbed the ''Magnum Turbo''. Given that the peak power for the naturally aspirated, fuel injected FE is {{Convert|118|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, the rated power for the FET is said to be conservative.
-Applications:
-* 1986–1987 [[Mazda Capella]]/[[Mazda 626|626]]
-* 1986–1987 [[Ford Telstar]] Turbo
-* 1986–1987 [[Mazda 929 coupe]]
-===FE-DOHC===
-{{main|Mazda FE-DOHC engine}}
-The '''FE-DOHC''' was the [[DOHC]] variant of the FE.  Commonly called the '''FE3''' because of its head castings, it was used in some [[Mazda 626|626s]] from Europe, New Zealand and Japan; but not the U.S. or Australia. After the GD platform stopped production in 1992, FE-DOHCs continued production until the end of the GV wagon in 1997. The FE-DOHC was also produced under license by Kia for the 1995+ [[Kia Sportage]].
-The FE-DOHC shares some dimensions with the original FE, including the 86&nbsp;mm bore and stroke. The '''FE-DOHC''' is usually identified by a gold cam cover, however this is not a guarantee.  There were at least six different '''FE-DOHC''' engines available with various compression ratios and camshafts. Sadly, due to a lack of information in non-destined markets, some believe that all FE-DOHC's are fitted with forged crank, however this is not the case; forged cranks do exist but they are very rare. In 10.0:1 compression, non-catalytic trim, the FE-DOHC produces 148&nbsp;hp (109&nbsp;kW) at 6000&nbsp;rpm and {{convert|133|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} at 4000&nbsp;rpm. The 9.2:1 compression, catalytic converter version produces {{Convert|138|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}.
-Applications:
-* 1988–1997 [[Mazda Capella]]/[[Mazda 626|626]]
-* 1992–1993 [[Ford Laser]] 2.0iRS (South Africa)
-* 1995–2003 [[Kia Sportage]]
-==F2==
-The F2 is a stroked version of the FE, introduced for the 1988–1992 [[Mazda G platform#GD|GD platform]] cars, it can also be found in the [[Mazda B-series|B2200]] pickup. Although available as an 8-valve SOHC in the B2200, this engine is most commonly a 12-valve SOHC, with an 86&nbsp;mm bore and 94&nbsp;mm stroke with an 8.6:1 compression ratio. It generates 110&nbsp;hp (82&nbsp;kW) at 4700&nbsp;rpm and {{convert|130|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}}.
-Applications:
-* 1988–1992 [[Mazda 626]]
-* 1988–1992 [[Mazda MX-6]]
-* 1988–1992 [[Ford Probe]]
-* 1987–1999 [[Mazda B-series|Mazda B2200]]
-===F2T===
-The '''F2T''' is a [[turbocharged]] version of the F2 equipped with an IHI-supplied RHB5 VJ11 [[turbocharger]] and an air-to-air [[intercooler]]. Internally the engine retains its 86&nbsp;mm bore and 94&nbsp;mm stroke, but has a lower compression ratio of 7.8:1. It produces 145&nbsp;hp (108&nbsp;kW) at 4300&nbsp;rpm and {{convert|190|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} at the drive wheels. Crank shaft figures were never released. Due to the increased torque output, Mazda were forced to increase the strength of the transmission for the F2T, producing the H-type, the strongest [[front wheel drive|FWD]] gearbox Mazda produced at the time.
-Applications:
-*  [[Mazda 626]]
-*  [[Mazda MX-6]]
-*  [[Ford Probe]]
-==R-series==
-The R-series engines are diesel variants that are very closely related to the F-series sharing the same bell housing patterns and other block fixtures and dimensions.
-===RF===
-A diesel variation of the FE which shares its 86&nbsp;mm bore and stroke. It was also available with a [[pressure wave supercharger]].
-Applications:
-* 1988–1992 [[Mazda Capella]]/[[Mazda 626]]
-* 1983–1990 [[Mazda Bongo|Mazda E-series]]
-===R2===
-A diesel variation of the F2 which shares its 86&nbsp;mm bore and 94&nbsp;mm stroke.
-Applications:
-* 1987–1991 [[Mazda B-series]]
-==Later engines with 'F' nomenclature==
-===FS===
-The 2.0&nbsp;L (1991&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup>) '''FS''' was one of the last F-family engines.  With an 83&nbsp;mm bore and 92&nbsp;mm stroke, it produced up to 130&nbsp;hp (97&nbsp;kW) and {{convert|135|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}}. In 1998 the engine underwent several changes, most notably a distributorless ignition version known as the FS-DE. Japan also received a higher-performance version, known as the FS-ZE. A special version of the FS was produced in 2003 for the [[Mazda Protegé#1999|Mazdaspeed Protegé]] which was turbocharged, and generated 170&nbsp;hp (127&nbsp;kW) and {{convert|160|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}}.
-Applications:
-* 1993–2002 [[Mazda 626]]
-* 1993–1997 [[Mazda MX-6]]
-* 1999–2001 [[Mazda MPV]] (Japan)
-* 1999–2003 [[Mazda Capella]]
-* 2001–2003 [[Mazda Protegé]]
-* 2003 [[Mazda Protegé#1999|Mazdaspeed Protegé]]
-* 1993–1997 [[Ford Probe]]
-===FP===
-It should be noted that the FP engine is totally unrelated to the earlier F-series engines with the exception of a similar name and capacity.
-The 1.8&nbsp;L (1839&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup>) '''FP''' is a destroked version of the FS, with an 83&nbsp;mm bore and 85&nbsp;mm stroke. It produces 122&nbsp;hp (91&nbsp;kW) and {{convert|120|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}}. This engine is often incorrectly called the '''F8''', which is the earlier destroked engine based on the FE. The '''FP''' enjoys a much better power band vs the FS due to slightly different camshafts and a better rod ratio over the regular FS-DE.
-The '''FP''' is very close to the FS in many ways and shares a large percentage of parts but has its own '''FP''' specific block crank, rods,  pistons and timing belt. The pistons for the FS produce a compression ratio of 9.1:1 (USDM) but when '''FP''' pistons are used in the FS they yield 9.7:1 compression ratio.
-Applications:
-* 1992–1993 [[Eunos 500]]
-* 1997–2001 [[Mazda Capella]]
-* 1999–2000 [[Mazda Protegé]] (ES models only)
