The engine "floods." With most cars, a flooded engine will not start.

The general way to start a flooded engine is to "crank" it while holding the "gas" pedal all the way to the floor for 5-10 seconds. (Just hold it there, don't move it.) This will often clear the excess gas from the combustion chamber.

How does fuel get from the dielsel tank to the combustion chamber?

The fuel gets from the diesel tank to the combustion chamber through fuel injection. This process may vary on your particular vehicle depending on the particular modelÊof your Land Rover Discovery.


How fuel gets into the combustion chamber?

More modern engines use a fuel injection system where the fuel is computer controlled and injected in the right amounts and right time into the chamber. Older engines may use carburettors, which spray the fuel into the chamber, but are controlled mechanically.


93 Geo Prizm gets fire but will not run unless gas is poured into intake?

Apparantly fuel is not reaching the combustion chamber. The most likely is a clogged fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump.


Which is more efficient 2sroke or 4stroke?

For small to mid-sized engines, 4-strokes are more efficient. Small 2-strokes use the same flow of fuel mixed air that they'll later will compress and burn to push the combustion gasses out of the combustion chamber, which means that some fuel gets flushed straight through the engine w/o getting used. Bigger 2-strokes can be either turbo- or supercharged, and then fuel injected. This allows them to use clean air to flush the combustion chamber, and then add the fuel when the chamber is closed. That way, fuel doesn't get flushed through unburnt.


What type of reaction powers a car?

The combustion of the air and fuel mixture in the combustion chamber gets lit on fire by the spark plug and and pushes the piston down which gets it moving faster and makes it work harder to get the piston back up to TDC (top dead center)


What causes the gasoline fumes ignited?

In the combustion chamber of a car the gas must first be atomized, or mixed with oxygen and becomes a mist this is what your fuel injectors or carburetor do. Then it gets compressed by the piston and the spark plug which is at the top of the combustion chamber receives a small electric charge from the battery and it arcs across the gap at the bottom and that spark ignites the atomized fuel creating heat, expansion and exhaust.


What happens to the gasoline in a car?

im not sure if this is exactly what your asking but,....the gas gets sucked from the gas tank to the carb. by the fuel pump and the liquid gas i then mixed with air int eh carb. to make the air fuel mixture. it then goes into the combustion chamber where it is compressed and then ignited while piston is at top dead center. it is then sucked out of the combustion chamber pushed out the exhaust. then it floats around the earth and eventually popping its way threw the earths protection from asteroids and the direct effect of the sun :-) - hopefully i helped


Why carburetor is necessary in petrol engine?

It's not necessary if you have fuel injection. Any gas engine which does not have fuel injection, like most small equipment engines, uses a carburetor. The carburetor releases the fuel as a mist into air being drawn into the engine. That gets fuel and oxygen into the combustion chamber in a highly combustible condition.


Your 2004 Buick Rendezvous is leaking a black liquid from Cadillac Converter?

"Catalytic Converter" not cadillac, lol. The black liquid is carbon soot mixed with water from condensation in your exhaust. The carbon soot is from the oil that lubricates your engine, it also gets small amounts in the combustion chamber, thus when your fuel/air mixture ignites in the (combustion) chamber, the oil (with carbon in it) is burned off and exits with the exhaust.


Why do you hear a clicking sound from the engine when you accelerate?

when we accelerate vehicle the supply of fuel gets increased .. Then inside the combustion chamber all the charge can't burn in such case so phenomena of knocking takes place.. So the sound can be heared.


How voltage is produced in spark plug?

The ignition system produces a high voltage that's used to create a spark in the cylinder. The heat from the sparkignites the air and fuel mixture, and the resulting explosion in the combustion chamber forces the piston down and gets the crankshaft turning.


What does vortex stands for?

I'm pretty sure you mean "vortec". Vortec is a type of engine class in most chevy truck which gets its name from the vortex inside the combustion chamber. This will result in a better air to fuel mixture for more power and better gas mileage.
