If the timing is too high on an engine it causes the gas/air mixture to pre-ignite before the piston gets to top-dead-center. All the valves are closed at this time, causing an excessive amount of heat to be stored in the cylinder walls. And the same applies if the timing is too low, but it does it after the piston has passed top-dead-center, and the engine usually runs worse.
What else can I help you with?
What will be the effect in your engine if it overheat?
The engine will overheat and the pistons will seize.
Will having the timing off make a 3vze overheat?
wrong timing can cause any engine to over heat. in fact if the timing is off it can cause hundreds of dollars of damage.
Overheat in a sentence?
There is a warning light which flashes when the engine begins to overheat.
What are the effect on valve timing if the timing belt has become stretched?
if the timing belt becomes streched, it changes the relationship between the camshaft and crankshaft. Which will in turn effect the valve timing and engine performance. That is why many engines use automatic tensioners to prevent this from happening
I had the thermostat radiator cap and radiator replaced on a 2001 Mitsubishi galant and it still overheats sitting at idle and while driving Any ideas on what the problem is?
have the engine timing checked. if the timing is wrong the engine will overheat, are you loosing coolant?is the fan working, is the water pump working?
What temperature does engine overheat?
The answer will depend on what engine it is and what it is being required to do.
Does the timing belt effects the way your car shifts gears?
The timing belt effects your camshaft timing, and in some engines your ignition timing (if the distributor or crank trigger runs off a pulley driven by your timing belt). Directly, your timing belt has no effect on your shifting. However, variances in camshaft timing will make your engine run differently and that MAY effect at what point the transmission shifts.
What happens when timing belt ready to snap?
i had a 106 and the timing belt came loose , it came off and wrecked the timing of the engine causing it to destroy its self . i presume it will be the same effect if it did snap .
Can the timing belt on your Camry be causing it to overheat?
No, but faulty water pump or thermostat can.
What will happen if you put petrol in a 2 stroke engine?
It will overheat the engine
Can timing effect a engines performance?
Absolutely, a badly timed engine can run like a heap of S--t
Is it possible when you have radiator fluid leaking that the timing is bad?
If the timing were off, it would be possible to overheat an engine, and have the overflow throwing water at you. But, in newer cars, this is usally not the case. You might have a bad hose somewhere-radiator, or heater hoses. And/or, the thermostat could be bad. NOPE
