to much boost, to low of octane fuel, carbon buildup on pistons, ignition timing is to far advanced. take your pick
Engine running hotter then 220 degrees can cause valvetrain noise. Bad fuel can also cause valve noise / PINGING sound. Ignition timing to high / Advanced to far, can also cause engine noise.
Ignition timing plays a crucial role in engine temperature management by influencing the combustion process. If the ignition timing is set too early, it can lead to pre-ignition or knocking, resulting in higher temperatures and potential engine damage. Conversely, late ignition timing can cause incomplete combustion, leading to unburned fuel and increased exhaust temperatures. Properly calibrated ignition timing ensures optimal combustion efficiency, helping to maintain the engine's operating temperature within a safe range.
yes, backfiring is always due to ignition or timing problems. Backfiring through the carb can be a symptom of a lean condition.
Could be a vacume leak or a sticking clutch or accelerator edal or cable. Timing could also be a problem. I advanced my ignition timing just a little bit and the problem went away.
bad ignition timing.
if advancing more than factory specs it can cause pre ignition (spark knock) that in turn can cause internal engine damage
Yes, a loose distributor can rotate so that the ignition timing for the engine is lost.
There are none. Ignition timing is not adjustable. Ignition timing and spark advance are handled by the engine controller module and the ignition control module, with inputs from various sensors. The engine controller is located by the passenger kick panel. The ignition controller is the thing the ciol pack mount on...it runs about $110 new. The ignition controller is often the cause of rough running, or idle problems as the spark advance function tends to crap out on this model of DIS ignition. Producing a constant error code, and therefore a constant check engine light.
Yes, a faulty ignition control module can cause an engine to stall. This component is responsible for regulating the ignition timing and firing the spark plugs. If it malfunctions, it can lead to erratic spark delivery or no spark at all, resulting in engine misfires or stalling. Additionally, it may cause starting issues or intermittent loss of power while driving.
An ignition module controls the timing and delivery of electrical signals to the ignition coil, which ignites the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. If the ignition module malfunctions or fails, it can lead to incorrect timing or inconsistent spark production, causing incomplete combustion. This results in engine misfires, reduced performance, increased emissions, and possible damage to other engine components. Regular diagnostics can help identify issues with the ignition module before they lead to significant problems.
Ignition is required for an engine to work. Failure of ignition would prevent the engine working.
