Why does an engine valve need to be removed from the cylinder head?
An engine valve normally needs to be removed from the head for a valve job, or to replace other parts related to its operation like the spring or valve guide. This is normally done when the engine has a poor seal from the valve/valve seat or oil consumption caused by the vavle guide.
How do you know when the timing belt is going bad on a 96 Toyota corolla?
Common signs are: Hesitation, poor running, valve clatter, and loss of power. A broken timing belt or timing chain can cause an engine to stop running or cause the valves to crash to the pistons.
The car won't star what i should be check?
If the starter is functioning properly and the engine doesn't engage, the it's ALWAYS one of the following: # Compression # Ignition (spark) # Fuel If the engine has all three and in the proper timing and/or amount, the engine runs. # Poor or low compression will make an engine difficult or impossible to start, and can be caused by wear, valve problems or a slipped timing belt/chain. # If spark (ignition) is not delivered to the plugs at the right time or if the spark is weak or non-existent, the engine will not run. # If too much or too little fuel is delivered, the engine will not run.
How do you set the timing on a 1999 350 engine?
The timing on that year engine is computer controlled and you must have an engine scanner to set the timing. That engine has a cam and crank sensor and they must be in correlation / TIME with each other. Are you will have a check engine light on and poor performance.
How will you know when the egr valve is bad on a 1994 Chevy blazer?
There are several signs, My experience was a engine that ran very rich. My sparkplugs smelled of gas and rough Idle with no real power. The role of the valve is to re-use a portion of your own exaust for better engine performance, fuel economy, and emmisions output. Engine Rough idle and poor acceleration can be caused by a faulty EGR valve.
Burned valve symptoms?
Engine miss, poor fuel economy, loss of power, and low compression on the cylinder with the burnt valve.
What could happen to an engines performance if the timing belt is not installed correctly?
The timing will be off and the engine will have no power and get poor mileage. In some cases if the engine is an interference engine you could have serious internal engine damage if the belt is installed incorrectly.
What does a knock sensor for a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am do and where is it on the car?
Just what it is called. It Senses knock/Ping/Valve Clatter.Sometimes Caused by poor fuel / Bad Gas/Incorrect Timing. The sensor senses Noise/viberation then tells the computer to correct the timing retarde/advance. It is usally mounted on the lower part of the engine block right side. It looks like A temp.senser BUT larger with A single wire at the top.Good Luck Darwin B
Can bad engine timing make a catalytic converter go bad?
Yes, the unburnt fuel from poor timing will enter the converter and slowly destroy it.
What causes Ticking on acceleration?
If it sounds like rocks in a can, or like a Diesel engine, you might be experiencing detonation, which is really bad. It is caused by poor gas and/or ignition timing too advanced. Left unfixed, it will melt holes in your pistons. To fix, get higher-octane fuel and/or retard timing
What makes an engine lose compression?
Worn cylinder bore, worn piston rings, poor valve seat condition, tired valve springs.
What would a bad EGR valve gasket cause?
Poor performance, poor economy, rough idle, lean burn causing valve or piston problems...
