How does a car operate?
basically, when you turn the key it sends an electric current from the battery to the starter which essentially "turns" the engine over. Then gas is sent into the cylinders where a spark from the spark plugs ignites the gasoline causing the cylinder "hammers" to move which sends power to the wheels eventually. While the car is running the battery is being charged by the alternator and the oil from the engine is sent through the radiator where the radiator cools off the oil and the radiator fan cools off the engine cavity
How does a motor make car move?
with the combustion of the gasoline in the cylinders, the pistons are forced up and down, turning the crank shaft which then activates the transmission which sends energy to the drive shaft which in turn spins the wheels.
What sends gas to a car engine?
the fuel pump
What does the emperature sensor sensor do on the engine of a Chevy Malibu 3.1L?
it senses the engine temperature and sends a signal to turn on the radiater cooling fans, and it also sends info to guage in car to tell temp, of engine.
What energy is if gasoline and the food you eat both have potential and energy?
chemical energy which sends messages to the brain
What does the knock sensor do on Honda prelude?
It senses engine knock and sends the information to the ecu, which will react to protect your engine from being damaged.
What is engine back pressure?
Engine back pressure is a common ailment in faulty engines. It is when the exhaust sends the power to the very back of the vehicle, instead of through its engine.
What is the purpose of a temperature sending unit?
it sends the engine temp to the computer tells if it is hot or cold ....
What powers a car?
...gasoline... expanding gases from combustion of gasoline or disel which is converted to rotary motion by the power train which sends it to you wheels OR PFM(pure fricken magic)which suits you best. expanding gases move alot of people expecally in small hot rooms!! what stinks!!! An internal combustion engine usually powers a car; unless it is one of the newer HYBRIDS which use several storage batteries for an alternative power supply.
What is an combustion engine is about?
Combustion means fire. A combustion engine means that an engine puts a fire in a particular place. A steam engine places a fire underneath a boiler. The water in the boiler expands and drives a piston or turbine. That is attached to a drive shaft and drives the wheels or generator. In a jet engine, the combustion occurs in the combustion chamber. That makes the gas expand and the expanding gas goes out the rear of the engine and pushes the airplane forward. However, I suspect you are interested in the Internal Combustion Engine. In an Internal Combustion Engine, Gasoline or other fuel is mixed with air in the intake manifold. A valve opens. A piston comes down. When the piston goes down, the fuel-air mixture is sucked into the cylinder. Then the valve closes. The piston pushes the mixture up compressing and heating the mixture. When the piston reaches the top, a spark plug sends a spark into the mixture. It burns. It pushes the piston down. That is called the power stroke. It sends power to the crankshaft and to the wheels. Then a valve opens. The piston comes back up and pushes the burned gas out of the cylinder into the exhaust manifold. That is how gasoline becomes useful energy.
What search engine sends your web search phrase to other search engines and then compiles the results into one list?
That type of engine is called a spider, and the search engine Dogpile works in this way.
How to check a firing order?
Here are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers: * The firing order is the order in which your ignition system sends a spark to each of your cylinders. All of your cylinders do not do the same thing at the same time, one is igniting the fuel, one is compressing the fuel, one is exhausting, etc. Spark is only going to one cylinder at a time in rapid succession. They generally do not send spark to the cylinders in the order of 1-2-3-4 ... (etc., depending on how many cylinders your car is) because the engine would be rough because the firings would go left to right. So they balance it by doing something like 1-3-2-4 ... etc. All cars are different in this order depending on model. If you put the wires on the wrong way, you can change this order and cause the engine to stumble because it will ignite at the wrong times. It will run like CRAP! Sometimes it is cast right in the block of the engine in letters. Sometimes it is in the owners manual. It is usually in a shop mechanic book. You can also find your particular order online by make and model and year. * The firing order is the order in which your ignition system sends a spark to each cylinder. * http://autorepair.about.com/od/enginefiringorders1/
