Find the cause of the problem on the machine
Finding the problem of damage is like building a house. We will not be able to build a wall or roof, without making a strong foundation first. Sophistication and of reliability today's car engines, which hardly requires care to make us sometimes unaware of the little things. To track the problem is more complex in nature, we should know the terms of the basic workings of a car engine. There are three basic things that we need to check to trace problems in a car engine.
1. Airflow
2. The flow of fuel
3. Fire (electricity)
If one of these three elements is disturbed then the machine will not be able to live.
draft
Checking the air flow system (air intake) is not too difficult. The first thing to check is the air filter. In most car engine air filter is located in a compartment attached to the top of the machine. Open the lid, remove the air filter and check the way then put it up to the light source. If not transparent, then it is time the air filter replaced.
Another thing to check is the channel or pipe that connects the air filter to the intake manifold. These channels are usually made of reinforced rubber mixture. Aging, vibration and engine heat can cause brittleness, cracking, to tear. Leak that occurred in this channel can cause air to enter without going through a computer control. As a result of uncontrolled air inlet, is not achieving the ideal mixture of fuel and air.
The flow of fuel
In the fuel flow system, the filter is the weakest point of the entire series. The fuel filter is often the cause of the engine trouble that we do not even thought previously. In some cases, engine trouble in the form of loss of engine power or halting, then the first thing we should do is check the fuel filter. It is a simple and easy thing to do, but it can be very effective in overcoming the problem. If the car can not be in the starter, check the batteries. Many of the fuel pump can not work when the voltage falls below 10 volts. Therefore battery voltage should be pretty good. Also check that the fuel pump fuse broken.
Fire (electricity)
In the case of electricity, many simple things that can cause problems. Many engine problems can be solved by tracing the ignition system.
· First distributor cap and rotor, which work in hot conditions and the voltage is high enough. Check if there are cracks or fractures. The tip of the rotor can be eroded by the fire power produced by high voltage. Similarly, the center of the electrode.
· Cable plugs can also cause problems. In addition to working in a high temperature, spark plug wires are also given an electrical charge to a very high voltage. If he was already quite old, can be cracked spark plug wires. If there are cracks near the negative power supply (ground) there will be a short circuit (shorting). In addition to reducing the supply of electricity to the spark plug, short circuit also generates electric sparks, which can cause a fire. Check rift that may occur in the spark plug wires is quite simple. Using a spray bottle, (as used to spray glass cleaner) water spray on the spark plug wires, if there are cracks on the spark plug wires, it will be audible and visible presence of an electric spark jumps to ground. This examination will be easily visible if done at night. In most spark plug wires, in which there is a core of carbon, which after some time can lead to cracks and crevices. This can present barriers deliver electricity to the spark plugs.
· Electrical system ended in plugs that function creates a spark to burn the gas mixture in the cylinder. Therefore necessary to prevent a rift slit as recommended by the factory and net of the crust....
