Not really. If one of the three cylinders is not functioning, the engine has lost MORE than 1/3 of the power if you take into consideration that the engine is still moving the "dead" piston.
If the engine is a 2 cylinder or if it is an earlier model with throttle body injection.
2 cylinders
4 cylinder engine or a 2 vavle per cylinder v8
It is exactly what it says. The number of valves the engine has per cylinder. If you have 16 valves on an 8 cylinder engine, you have 2 valves per cylinder.
A 2 cylinder engine is faster then a 4. it produces more combustion.
DOHC stands for Dual Over Head Cam : That means that each cylinder head has 2 camshafts on the top of the engine cylinder head ( in the case of the Ford Escort ZX2 , there is one cylinder head on the four cylinder engine so it has 2 camshafts on top of the cylinder head )
A tachometer works by measuring how many time a spark plug fires. If the tachometer is designed to determine the rpm of an 8 cylinder engine it will not show the correct speed of a 2 cylinder engine. If I remember correctly if the tachometer designed for an 8 cylinder is used on a 4 cylinder engine it will show twice the number of actual rpm. So an 8 cylinder tachometer used on a 2 cylinder engine will show 4 times the actual rpm of the 2 cylinder engine. If you check around there are special tachometers designed for 2 cylinder engines.
its the 2nd cylinder back on the rider side of the engine
Valves per cylinder makes one's engine more powerful or less powerful. A engine that has 2 valves per cylinder is better that a engine that has only one.
Hi, If you are looking at the engine from the front of the van, then cylinder 2 is the front left of the engine. All of the odd cylinders are in the back, the even cylinders are in the front. Example: ---- Back ---- 1 ---- 3 ---- 5 2 ---- 4 ---- 6 --- Front ---- Good Luck
The # 2 cylinder is on the passenger side of the engine , 2nd cylinder from the front The engine cylinders are numbered 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 from front to rear on the passenger side of the engine and 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 from front to rear on the drivers side of the engine
passenger side of engine , second cylinder from front is the # 2 cylinder
