What else can I help you with?
Why is my 2003 cavalier engine knocking?
Engine knocking can be caused by numerous things. Having the incorrect spark plugs, carbon deposits on the cylinder walls, and being low on engine oil may all cause a knocking sound.
Why won't the engine turn over in my 1999 Dodge neon after the battery has been checked and the starter replaced?
The starter may not have been properly installed, or it may be as simply as one of the power cables to the starter having come loose, and preventing a circuit from being made.
Knocking noise when accelerating?
The knocking noise is commonly called spark knock. The knock can be called by the engine timing not being set correctly, or using gas that has too low of an octane for the engine.
Why would the engine of a 1997 Chevy Cavalier make a loud knocking noise even after being told that there is nothing wrong with it?
it's probably a rod knocking
What causes a knocking sound after car is shut off?
The combination of fuel still being pumped into the engine and air
How does a starter clutch work?
A starter clutch, also known as a one-way clutch or sprag clutch, allows the engine to start by engaging the starter motor while preventing the engine from driving the starter. When the starter motor turns, the clutch engages, allowing the engine to crank. Once the engine starts and exceeds a certain speed, the clutch disengages, preventing the starter from being driven by the engine's rotation, which protects the starter motor from damage. This mechanism is crucial for ensuring smooth engine starts and preventing backflow of energy to the starter system.
What was the purpose of adding lead to gasoline?
Lead was added to gasoline to inexpensively increase octane ratings and to also help reduce engine knocking.Increasing octane and reduce engine knocking are exactly the same thing, as the test method to measure octane of a fuel is to see when a standard engine begins knocking. The higher compression ratio the standard test engine can be operated at without knocking, the higher the octane of the fuel being tested.
What is knocking and pinking?
Knocking and pinking, often referred to as "knock" or "ping," are terms used to describe abnormal combustion in an internal combustion engine. Knocking occurs when fuel-air mixture ignites prematurely in the cylinder, leading to a knocking sound and potential engine damage. Pinking specifically refers to a similar phenomenon where the combustion produces a sharper, more pronounced sound, typically associated with higher octane fuel requirements not being met. Both issues can reduce engine efficiency and longevity if not addressed.
What is a one way clutch on a starter motor?
A one-way clutch on a starter motor, often referred to as a starter drive or overrunning clutch, allows the starter motor to engage the engine's flywheel to start the engine but prevents the motor from being driven by the engine once it starts. This mechanism ensures that when the engine is running, the starter motor does not experience damage from back-driven forces. It typically consists of rollers or pawls that engage in one direction and disengage when the direction reverses. This design is crucial for protecting the starter motor and ensuring efficient engine operation.
On Chevy Suburban 1999 starter is turning but the engine doesn't catch When started though the engine runs smooth and nice Can it be timing or what else?
Is it real cold were your at????? If so then replace the starter, The reason being is that the starter drive- ( bendix ) is kicking out as soon as it touches the fly-wheel and it just makes a werd noise. REPLACE STARTER.
What makes a new starter make a sreeching noise when being started?
Probably a missing spacer between starter and engine block,may have fallen out during change over
Why wont your 2000 GMC Sierra start?
Starter won't crank over engine? Battery or battery connection issues. Starter cranks over engine but engine won't start? Being a GM product I would suspect fuel delivery problems (bad fuel pump).
