Do fuel injected engines have spark plugs?
If it is a gas engine, yes. Diesel , no. Yes if it is gasoline engine,no if is a diesel.
Will a bad spark plug wire cause an engine to run rich?
A cylinder not firing will push raw gasoline into the exhaust system where an O2 sensor will read it as running rich assuming this vehicle is fuel injected.
What is spark ignition engine?
A 'spark ignition ' engine is your regular gasoline engine as opposed to a diesel, which is a 'compression ignition' engine
Does a 2003 Ford F-250 have spark plugs?
That depends if you have a gasoline engine On a 2003 Ford F-250 if you have the 5.4 liter gasoline V8 engine it has ( 8 spark plugs ) If you have the 6.8 liter gasoline V10 engine it has ( 10 spark plugs ) If you have the 7.3 liter DIESEL engine it doesn't have any spark plugs
How can you know car is A flooded engine?
Removing the spark plugs and finding the spark plugs soaked with gasoline. Also the engine oil may have a strong odor of gasoline.
How is maintenance different for a gasoline and diesel cars?
The main reason is that the way Diesel and Gasoline engines works is complete different, the gasoline needs a spark to explode and generate movement. The diesel explodes with pressure, the pressure of the fuel on the cylinder is what makes the explosion, so in a diesel engine you don't need an electric system to generate a spark. The compression in a diesel engine is a lot higher that a gasoline engine. All diesel engines have diesel injectors, gasoline engine works with injectors and carburators. Because of all this differences and more the maintanence is different, oil change periods, air filters, fuel system, electric system, belts, valves.........
Gasoline in diesel engine?
Gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine where a diesel is an internal compression engine. Gasoline is highly flammable and explodes when an electrical spark is applied to it where diesel explodes when it is put under pressure
Why gasoline is not used in diesel engines?
Gasoline does not combust properly, or at all, in a compression ignition engine. Gasoline is designed to be ignited by a spark.
What are the basic different between the petrol and diesel engine?
Well gasoline engines have a spark plug that ignites the gasoline as it is injected into the engine. Diesel engines have no spark plugs because the high compression ignites the fuel as it is injected. Because it releases higher energy density, diesels get better fuel economy.The main difference between a diesel and a gasoline (petrol) engine are the way the fuel is ignited. In a gasoline engine, a fuel/air mixture is introduced into the cylinder either through a carburetor or fuel injection system, where it is then compressed and ignited with a spark. In a diesel engine, air is compressed in the cylinder which heats it to about 1000 degrees F (550 degrees C), then fuel is injected under high pressure and ignited by the superheated air. To accomplish this, diesel engines also have higher compression ratios than gasoline engines.
Can gasoline leaking onto car engine ignite?
Yes. All the gasoline needs is a source of ignition like a wayward spark from a spark plug wire.
Main advantages and disadvantages between compression ignition and spark ignition engines?
A spark ignition engine is a gasoline engine. A compression ignition is a diesel engine.basic difference between compression and spark ignition engine is ,compression ignition is a diesel engine. spark ignition is a gasoline engine.diesel engines compress the fuel to a point where the fuel explodes, thus giving ignitiongasoline does not compress to explosion, therefore it needs need a spark to ignite the fuelspark ign. is gasoline. comp. ign. is diesel.A compression ignition engine is typically a diesel. It compresses air so much that the heat from the compression is enough to cause the fuel to ignited once injected. A spark ignition engine is your average gasoline-burning car engine. It uses a spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture instead of relying on compretssion ignition.A compression ignition engine uses very high compression of the air to heat it self up and the fuel is injected into the cylinder which self ignites (a diesel engine is a compression ignition engine).A spark ignition engine uses a lower compression ratio and requires the use of a spark to ignite the fuel (a petrol engine is a spark ignition engine).Because the oils used for a diesel have a higher calorific value, they have a better fuel economy, They also do not need extra energy usage to keep the engine running, unlike the energy that is lost to power the spark plugs from the generator/alternator which is taken from the useful energy produced by the engine.
What engine uses a spark plug to ignite a compressed air-gas mixture?
A spark ignition engine, like your average gasoline/petrol burning car engine.
