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.
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.
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.
Remove the panel from the steering column, take a look at the wires going to your key switch. One should constantly be hot. You clip that one to the wire which goes to the 'run' position of the key switch, then you take the ignition wire, and hold it to the hot wire until the engine starts. The engine will remain running until you disconnect the other two wires.
The remote just connects the starter selenoid with the battery, when it completes the circuit, the engine starts and will run until it runs out of gas or the engine is disabled.
No. Spark plugs remain in Petrol engines. MPFI stands for Multi Point Fuel Injection, thus replacing the carburetor with injectors. Petrol engines need a source for ignition unlike Diesel engines, where the ignition happens due to compression.
If you don't start the engine, electrical power is only sent to the fuel pump for a few seconds after turning on the key. That often makes it difficult to trace down the problem. If the engine starts, the fuel pump will remain on, but there is no need to be sending fuel to an engine that isn't running.
