What octane does 2008 sts with northstar use?
The owner's manual suggests a rating of 91 octane and further comments that 87 can be used but could cause knocking in the engine.
Could a 2001 Ford Focus have a manual transmission?
yes
What is resoluton?
Ending or remedy to a problem or could refer to focus on computer monitor.
What is the problem when the engine light switchs on and the revs are very low when at idle on a 2000 focus?
You need to seek a professional. There could be a multitude of problems. You could have a loose part in the engine bay, or you could have an oil problem, or you could have a transmission problem, anything. I would personally say you have sludge in your engine, depends on mileage and how you drive it. Of course I don't own a Focus. Again more reason to seek a professional.
What causes knocking in engines?
Could be low octane, Buy an octane booster and pour it into your gas tank (only costs a few dollars) or try a higher octane gasoline.
What could be the problem if pictures on your screen look blurry and out of focus when they did not before?
You probably have a flyback/voltage tripler/focus block that has gone bad in the monitor. Replace the monitor.
Not putting premium gas in your 2002 Pontiac grand prix GTP would that cause engine light to come on or could it clog injector?
Look in your owners manual for the fuel requirements and then take it to a qualified mechanic for a diagnosticAnswerits best to put the recommended fuel octane level in your car that the manufacter says to use if your vehicle says to use 87 octane then use only 87 octane of u use 91 or 92 octane u could actually get worse gas mileage and performance the motor was designed to run on what they sat to use uasually this info is in the gas doof area or your owners manual Answerthe only difference is between premium and regular gas is the premium is 97 octane and regular is 92 and your injectors are the same as the ones in a grand am se and no it would not make your engine light come on
Why would we not crack octane industrially?
Octane is very useful the way it comes, and the lower alkanes you could crack octane into are plentiful. Cracking is a good technique for converting bitumen into an alkane that fuel can be made from, but you can make fuel (specifically gasoline) from octane.
Will using regular unleaded instead of premium unleaded damage the engine?
it could, read the owners manual that came with your car. it will say what kind is recommended, the octane levels in gas vary and if you go to low you could cause your engine to knock and soon after blow.
What is a sentence with stimulate?
Listening to music can stimulate the brain and improve focus.
What gas fuel to use?
Use the fuel with the octane rating listed in the owner's manual for the car. Consistently using a lower octane fuel can cause knocking, which can damage the engine over time. Using a fuel with a higher octane just wastes your money. Some fuels have ethanol (or other additives) to reduce air pollution, however some of these additives can damage an engine not designed for them. Never use a fuel containing a higher percentage of these additives than is specified in the owner's manual to avoid damage to the engine. Most modern cars with computer controlled fuel injection (instead of carburetors) can operate on low octane fuel without knocking and the damage that could result, but they do this by the computer making adjustments to the injector and spark timing that sacrifice fuel mileage.
Does a turbocharged engine require premuim fuel?
If the manual says put in premium fuel, in a turbo car, you MUST put in premium fuel. Your car has a detonation sensor, and it will know when you don't put high octane fuel in because the fuel/air mixture will prematurely detonate. This is VERY bad for your engine, but your computer will sense the detonation and pull back ignition timing to protect itself. This will result in poor performance and poor fuel efficiency-the computer will try to prevent detonation by throwing too much fuel into the cylinder as a means of self defense and by restricting the amount of "boost" the turbo is allowed to make. Turbo cars MUST have high octane fuel unless they are tuned for low octane. Your vehicle's service manual will tell you what fuel to put in. My manual says I must run 91 octane, and in parts of New Mexico, I could only get 90 octane off the highway. My car ran like hell because of it....
