What could cause slight engine missing when driving to higher altitudes usually 3000 feet?

Bad gas, fouled plug(s), engine out of time, vacuum line leak or clogged.

It is probably missing. Have it tuned up and a compression test run on the engine.

A sudden engine stop means one of four things: no spark, no ignition switch, no gas or no engine. No spark first. There is a fuse labeled IGN in your fusebox. If it's blown, no power gets to the coil. I find it's easier to troubleshoot these things if you just change the fuse. If that didn't work, it may be the fuel pump relay. It's labeled EFI - electronic fuel injection - and it…

You may have a timing belt missing a tooth or two, or a worn out timing belt tensioner.

The engine blows. Usually pistons shoot into the engine. In most cases the engine will have to be replaced.

Lift hood. If engine is missing, there will be a large empty space where the engine used to be.

That all depends on the engine you have and the rear gearing.

maybe you should try to install some strut bars on top of your engine to hold it in place.

If you drive your truck while there is a miss in the engine. You will notice it lacks power and may back fire.. if continued driving it will eventually just quit running

For an airplane it vibrates a lot and it needs a super- or turbocharger at high altitudes

A flashing engine light is usually a misfire code. Driving with a flashing light means immediate repair you are damaging your catalytic converters or engine. In answer to your question, NO.

Usually a sighn of bad alternator.

How much oil is "missing"?

engine rubber mounts or timin out

Usually a problem in the emission control system-have vehicle scanned to determine the problem

This is mainly because the air/fuel mixture is not set for the higher altitudes. The lower atmospheric pressure at higher elevations means the engine will operate leaner then the ideal air/fuel mixture. If you set a vehicle to operate at only high altitudes then it would run to rich and have less power once you left the mountains. This overly lean condition is also why an engine will overheat more easily at high altitudes. The…

Engine to body earth missing, distributor, rotor arm missing, ignition module not connected,

Carburettors and spark plugs.

well the amount of cylinders in the engine will usually mean the size of the engine, and when the engine is bigger it usually means that you potentially get worse MPG unless talking about a mix of a gas engine and some sort of hybrid motor and your MPG may very depending on how you drive and if your driving in the city or on the highway as the highway you will get better MPG…

There is usually a dataplate on either the valve cover or on the side of the block. If it's missing or unreadable, you can call any International truck dealer with the last 8 digits of the VIN (assuming it is the original engine), and they can give you the engine serial number.

The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run. You are missing one of those. Start with a fuel pressure test.

possibly a broken or missing engine mount

Pending trouble codes: These are similar to normal trouble codes, but they are set after a single driving cycle, and usually before the check engine light is illuminated. Useful after repair work has been finished

The first engine, the Allison produced around 1,100 hp at lower altitudes, but fell off at higher altitudes, and the later Rolls-Royce Merlin produced around 1,400 at altitude.

Yes, there is a distinct possibility. This is an interference engine, and severe engine damage will occur if the belt breaks or jumps teeth.

The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run, one of those is missing. Being a GM product my money is on a faulty fuel pump.

somebody stold it!!

Your thermostat is stuck open. Buy a new one they are usually really cheap and you can usually repair it yourself. They are easy to get to even in compact engine space.

An aircraft gets thrust from an engine, either a piston engine driving a propeller or a jet driving a turbine.

In the engine compartment on the drivers side near the front is a covered power junction box. The relay is white and usually missing on USA cars.

Improperly installed or missing head gasket? White smoke is usually caused by water entering the combustion chamber.

Why engine stalls on 1993 Chrysler Intrepid while driving and sometimes at stops?

replace the cam position sensor.also if this happens agin, while driving, put vehicle into neutral and start engine while coasting.by the time you have restarted engine, you will usually have slowed down enough to reengage transmission with out stopping

The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run, it is missing one of those.

Flat tire, or engine trouble.............

I usually get 16-19mpg under normal to spirited driving conditions combined city/hwy.

175HP with the base L48 350 V8 California emissions and high altitudes emissions engine, 185HP with the base L48 350 V8 engine, and 220HP with the optional L82 350 V8 engine.

Driving doesn't directly produce it - the chemical reaction of fuel undergoing combustion in the motor is what produces it. The principle carbon emission from cars is carbon dioxide. There is some carbon monoxide in the direct engine exhaust if the engine does not have the right air/fuel mixture. This is usually removed by proper operation (since 1975) of the catalytic converter.

a hybrid is a car that has 2 engines, usually a conventional gas engine, with a cleaner engine like electricity attached for low speed driving. the systems that make it work are complicated and different for each car, but that's a hybrid in a nutshell.

Sensor??? A misfire is usually caused by spark plugs and wires. After that you change distributor cap(if equipped) , fuel injectors, check for proper compression.

Engine needs fuel, compression and spark. You are missing one or more of those.

The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run. You are missing one of those.

its because of micro crystalline ice formation at high altitudes due to exhaust gases (Vapor) from the aircraft engine

It is usually locate on the firewall between the engine and the driving compartment. Read the owner's manual to understand where the wiper motor is located.

If the RPMs in the engine increases and the speed not, the clutch may be worn out, usually it becomes noise at the same time

It can cause a rough idle and random misfires because the engine will be off balance. If the flywheels happens to stop with the missing teeth (tooth) in the starting position, the the engine will not even crank.

The thermostat is stuck open or missing.

dtc codes are generic p0455 means "Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak) " this will cause "check engine light to come on" and is usually that the gas cap is loose and if tighten will cause the check engine light to go away after driving the car for 3 normal driving trips.

If you mean why the difference in RPMs between idling and driving, the difference is due to the engine load; At idle, the engine isn't really doing much other than staying running, but under load (driving) the engine has to put its power out to the drivetrain, hence the symptomatic loss of engine speed (RPMs).

In a vehicle, a driving gear is the gear which is driven by the engine. The driving gear helps control the speed the vehicle is in.
