There is coolant in the engine block when the engine is not running. The engine block, heater, hoses and radiator remain full when engine is not running.
The fan remains running after the vehicle shuts off in order for the engine to cool down. Once the motor cools down sensors trigger the fan to shut it off.
no as long as the engine is running the pump needss to remain on
I've seen this happen in Honda's. Does it remain running for long periods of time or never shut off? If it is only running for a short time, it's cooling off your engine still because it's still really hot. There's nothing wrong with this.
Varies between car manufacturers. Some return to "E" when the ignition switch is turned off ... others remain at the present level ... still others will drop a little somewhere between the "E" and where it was when the engine is running.
An ECU (Engine Control Unit) may continue running after the engine is shut off due to a few reasons. One common cause is a faulty ignition switch that fails to completely disconnect power to the ECU. Additionally, if there are issues with the wiring or relays that control power to the ECU, it could remain active. Lastly, certain systems, like those for diagnostics or emissions monitoring, may keep the ECU engaged for a short period post-engine shutdown.
The ignition temperature, (temperature at which diesel fuel ignites) is 490*F. This temperature corresponds to a set compression of the gasses in the cylinder of the engine. Some, but not all, diesel engines have glow plugs to initially warm the air when you first start the engine because the temperature of the air in the diesel engine is too cold to get the ignition temperature simply from compression. while the engine is running the compression heats the air to the ignition temperature. This compression (or pressure) is the same each time the cylinder fires. Using the universal gas law you can find that corresponding compression versus the ambient temperature and pressure. Typically this will occur at approximately 16 bars. Almost all diesel engines are designed to operate at a compression ratio of 15:1 - 20:1, less if supercharged or turbocharged.
The light should be on before starting, and for 3 seconds after starting, as a bulb check.
The dwell setting for a 1967 Mustang with a 6-cylinder engine typically ranges from 28 to 32 degrees. Dwell refers to the amount of time the ignition points remain closed, allowing the ignition coil to charge. Proper dwell settings ensure optimal engine performance and efficient ignition timing. It's important to consult the specific service manual for your vehicle for precise specifications.
You don't unless you are parked with the engine running. If you are parked and you want the engine running but don't want the daytime running lights on just shut the car off and set the parking brake then start the car back up. The lights should remain off until you release the parking brake.
Running lights may stay on when the ignition is off due to a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical system, such as a stuck relay or a faulty switch. Some vehicles have a feature that keeps running lights on for safety reasons, allowing visibility when parked. Additionally, if the vehicle has a feature like daytime running lights (DRLs), it may be programmed to keep them illuminated under certain conditions. If the lights remain on unexpectedly, it’s advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a professional.
A dwell meter measures the duration that the ignition points in a gasoline engine remain closed during each cycle, which is crucial for proper timing and efficiency. It connects to the ignition system and displays the dwell angle, typically expressed in degrees. As the engine runs, the meter indicates how long the points are closed, helping to diagnose issues with ignition timing and ensure optimal engine performance. Adjustments can be made based on the reading to achieve the correct dwell angle specified by the manufacturer.
