The most common cause of an engine misfire is a bad or failing ignition coil. Some vehicles have a separate ignition coil on every spark plug, while some cars have one coil pack with an ignition wire to each spark plug. Older cars use a distributor to distribute the spark to all the sp...
Although the problem could be quickly resolved through the use of conventional methods the pre-ignition phenomenon was observed in depth using experimental methods. The aim of the investigation was to determine the cause of the phenomenon, the manner in which it occurs and to develop preventative ...
The “check engine light” will illuminate to notify you if any of the said components of the fuel system is clogged or damaged. The best thing to do to prevent blockage or clogging is to regularly clean the fuel system components. However, if it is already blocked or clogged, it's best...
Leaving your car unused for a while, or only used for short journeys A faulty component A problem with the car's charging system A fault with the battery itself Old age How to avoid a flat battery Don't forget to switch everything off as you leave the car. Removing the ignition key ...
If you are into a habit of driving with the AC “ON,” thefuel consumptionwould soar to heights. Have a check on how frequently you are using the car’s air conditioner system. The AC is known to amplify the load on the engine, thus is one of the most commonhigh fuel consumption c...
ignition coils. A failing coil will get very hot under consistent use. The hotter it gets, the more it resists electricity, and then the hotter it gets. If your vehicle runs fine for a few minutes, and then starts acting up while you're going down the highway, check the ignition coil...
to restrict the flow and reduce pressure of the refrigerant before it enters the evaporator coil. Both of these are at risk of clogging due to contamination, for example due to metal shavings from a failing compressor. A clogged expansion valve or orifice tube will cause the AC to only blow...
A method for determining causes of engine stop using ignition power monitoring may include performing ignition power holding determination to determine, in a state in which a vehicle is started and an engine is driven, whether the vehicle is in a key-on state, to which power is consistently ...
model. The function of both expansion valve and orifice tube is the same, to restrict the flow and reduce pressure of the refrigerant before it enters the evaporator coil. Both of these are at risk of clogging due to contamination, for example due to metal shavings from a failing compressor...
The ignition temperatures of a Loy Yang brown coal and a Datong bituminous coal were investigated in a wire-mesh reactor where the secondary reactions of the evolved volatiles were minimised. An increase in the average particle ignition temperature of 21 掳C was observed for the brown coal when...
