depends what u mean...there r actual modifications for cars called "cold air intakes"

in theory, the colder the air, the better the engine will perform bcoz the air is more dense and so more oxygen molecules in it. this is where nitrous comes in.....the actual nitrogen doesnt burn, but it is an extremely cold gas and simply "sprays" in more oxygen

What instrument can be used to measure dynamic Valve Clearance?

A feeler gauge is typically used to measure dynamic valve clearance in internal combustion engines. The gauge is inserted between the valve stem and the rocker arm to determine the correct clearance while the engine is running.


What is an example of cold start fuel ratio?

An example of a cold start fuel ratio is the air-fuel mixture used in internal combustion engines during the initial startup phase, typically around 12:1 to 14:1 (air to fuel). This ratio is richer than the standard stoichiometric ratio of 14.7:1 to ensure proper ignition and operation when the engine is cold. A richer mixture helps to overcome the challenges of increased friction and incomplete combustion at lower temperatures.


Why does a 1996 Volvo 960 hard to start in cold temp?

With any internal combustion engine the main components to make it run are fuel and air. When an engine is cold (internal temp) there needs to be a different mixture of fuel and air to make it run. That's why older cars with engines with carburetors (the components that mixes air and fuel) you needed to let the engine "warm up" before driving. The air (ambient or outside temperature) must be within a range to optimize the combustion. On newer engines that use "Electronic Fuel Injection" (EFI) the air and fuel ratio are controlled by sensors. One of those sensors is a cold start sensor that sits right under the air intake hose on a 960. The sensor is sensitive to a range of ambient air temperatures and if the ambient temperature falls under that range i.e. it's damn near freezing!, the car will be harder to start. That is in addition to the internal cold temp of the engine metal.


What are cold air intake kits used for?

Cold air intake kits are used for bringing relatively cool air into a car's internal - combustion engine. Cold air intake kits are also marketed with claims of increased engine efficiency and performance.


What is the working principle of diesel engine?

Diesel engines work much in the same way as any other internal combustion engine. They require the same 4 things to run; fuel, air, ignition, and compression. The main difference is that a diesel engine does not have sparkplugs, which are used in gasoline engines to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines instead use high cylinder compression to press the mixture of fuel and air into as small of an area as possible. This compression causes heat in the cylinder, which causes the fuel to ignite and push the piston back down, causing the crankshaft to rotate, which power's vehicle's motion. Some diesel engines use "Glow Plugs", to pre-heat the cylinder head, which help the engine start when cold.

During cold conditions especially in the morning the diesel engine when you start it it runs so rough i want to know why this is so?

In cold conditions, diesel engines can run rough at startup due to several factors. Firstly, low temperatures can cause the fuel to thicken, making it less efficient for combustion. Additionally, the viscosity of engine oil increases in cold weather, leading to increased friction and sluggish engine performance. Moreover, cold temperatures can affect the glow plugs, which are essential for pre-heating the combustion chamber, resulting in incomplete combustion and rough running until the engine warms up.


Is cold air good for engine combustion?

yes


Why does incomplete combustion occur in engines?

Incomplete combustion in engines can occur due to factors like insufficient oxygen supply, improper fuel-air mixture, or low combustion temperatures. This can lead to the production of harmful byproducts such as carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons, reducing engine efficiency and contributing to air pollution. Proper maintenance, tuning, and use of high-quality fuel can help minimize incomplete combustion.
