What is it called when there is too much fuel in a fuel and air mixture?
A rich condition.
You have black smoke coming from your exhaust?
You are running too rich. the mixture of fuel and air has too much fuel in it,
What does mean lean mixture or rich mixture?
The ideal fuel/air mixture or ratio for most internal combustion gasoline engines is 14.7 to 1. Meaning 14.7 parts air to one part gasoline. Any ratio below this is considered a rich mixture or too much fuel. Any ratio above this is considered a lean mixture or too much air.
What is the black smoke from the exhaust mean?
It means that the engine is running too "rich"; that is, there is too much fuel in the air/fuel mixture.
What causes a car to make Black Smoke?
to much fuel. gm jim Fuel to air mixture too rich or choke stuck on.
Can a rich air fuel mixture cause engine blow by?
Yes
Why does a car blow much black smoke an consume fuel?
It seems like you're running too rich of a mixture - too much fuel, and not enough air.
How do you fix rich air fuel mixture?
install a cold air intake. more air with same amount of fuel being injected will lean out the fuel/air mixture. plus you'll get more power
What does it mean if the spark plug is dry and white?
Dry is good, but white is bad! It means that the engine is running lean, which will result in the engine running too hot and can cause serious engine damage (even seizure). Below is a guide to reading the spark plug color. Black = Rich. The fuel/air mixture is too rich (too much fuel, not enough air). Tan/Brown = Normal. The fuel/air mixture is correct. White = Lean. The fuel/air mixture is too lean (too much air, not enough fuel).
Cause of black smoke in caldina?
Black smoke is a symptom of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. In other words too much fuel is being mixed with not enough air.
What is a fuel oxygen censor?
The O2 sensor is normally in your air intake, or throttle body. It moniters the air flow into the motor that mixes with the fuel. Your CPU controls how much air goes into the engine. A rich fuel mixture robs horsepower while a lean fuel mixture robs reliability. All in all, the Fuel/oxygen sensor measures rich/lean and adjusts the mixturea ccordingly
What is the ratio of fuel to air in rich mixture?
Well the preferred ratio is 14.7:1 (14.7(air):1(fuel)) so anything below this is rich.... 14.6:1 for e.g
