Engine speed is controlled by how much air is admitted. There are 3 ways for air to get in; # Open throttle valve: Look for stuck linkage, throttle cable binding, foreign object stuck in the throttle plate, etc. # Idle Air Control valve: There is a ~1 jnch dia hose that bypasses the throttle. The valve in the hose can stick open and cause either no idle or fast idle. Try cleaning it with carb cleaner. If you have over 200,00 miles on the car the brushes in the valve motor may be worn out. # Air leaks: Listen for a sucking sound with a piece of hose held near your ear and the intake manifold.

Is it better to run the throttle to a turbo diesel engine wide open or at minimum throttle?

It depends on the load placed on the engine. You won't get a lot of additional horsepower, or "boost" from the turbo unless the engine is working - as in pulling a heavy load or operating hydraulics etc. You can run the throttle wide open, but if the engine is just running, and the machine it's installed in is not moving then you're just burning fuel. Other than that, more load=more throttle.


Where does an intercooler hook up on a 13b rotary engine?

On a 1986-91 model they connect to the throttle body and the turbo compressor ! Hope it helps!


Do you run the air that your turbocharger blows out through your intercooler then to your throttle body or do you put a filter on one end of the intercooler and have the turbo breathe from it?

The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.

What if the McLaren F1 have forced induction?

It would have been faster, but the designer didn't want the turbo lag, he wanted the throttle response of a normally aspirated engine.


How does a turbo work in a diesel car?

A turbo in a diesel car works by using exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which is connected to a compressor. As the turbine spins, it draws in more air and compresses it before it enters the engine's cylinders. This increased airflow allows for more fuel to be burned, enhancing the engine's power and efficiency. Additionally, the turbo helps reduce turbo lag, providing a quicker throttle response.

Does a engine turbo consume more fuel than a non-turbo engine?

No, the turbo is powered by the exhaust and uses no engine power.


Blow off valve with no turbo?

Amazingly pointless. The blow off valve is there to release intake pressure if you have the turbo spinning and then go off the throttle suddenly. If you haven't got a turbo there's no intake pressure to release if you go off the throttle.


Does a throttle switch on a 1982 280zx turbo have 2 pins inside it?

Yes, the throttle switch on a 1982 280ZX Turbo typically has two pins inside it. This switch is part of the fuel injection system and is designed to signal the engine control unit (ECU) when the throttle is in the closed position, helping to manage fuel delivery. If you're troubleshooting or replacing the switch, make sure to check for continuity and proper operation.
