Why does the engine die and then run fine after 5 minutes?

One common problems is a plugged catalytic converter, if the engine starts fine and then starts to stall or feel like it does not have any power after running for a while it could be the catalytic converter.. the engine starts loosing power because the exhaust has nowhere to go (the catalytic converter is partially or totally plugged) Compression starts to go down causing the engine to stall or die. If you leave the car alone for a while the pressure in the engine goes out slowly thru the catalytic converter leaving the car ready to start again for a few minutes but it will shut down again.

How a 350 engain works?

The gas Engine is a 4 stroke engine, Nother words the piston must make 4 stroke's to run. Here's the 4 strokes. Entake, compression, power and exhaustWhen you turn the engine over with the starter a piston starts moving, As it starts going down the intake valve starts opening witch lets air and fuel come into the cylinder. That's the intake stroke.When the piston is compleatly down the intake and exhaust valves are closed, When the piston starts back up it will compress the air and fuel, this will be the compression stroke. As soon as the piston reaches the top of the cylinder the spark plug fires witch Explodes the air and fuel mixture that's in the cylinder and drives the piston down. This will be the power stroke. When the piston is all the way down and starts up again, The exhaust valve will open and the piston will push the exhaust gases out into the exhaust pipe. This will be the exhaust stroke. Then the piston starts down, intake valve opens and it does all over again.I hope you understand now. This is all happin real fast

2005 CLK 250 will produce steam from the exhaust pipe when the engine starts up in the morning and will billow out for 5 minutes or so Is this normal The dealership says it is?

On cold mornings it is pretty normal. It's the accumulated moisture evaporating out of the exhaust system as the system warms. If you are concerned that it Amy be your head gasket leaking, smell the steam when you start it up. If you do not smell antifreeze, you're good to go.
