It's either timing or valves way out of adjustment if it isonly the 2 cylinder not firing try changing the coil pack for 1 and 3 with 2and4 then ifcylinder2and4 act up replaice the coil pack
The rumbling noise could be due to issues with the exhaust system, such as a hole in the muffler or exhaust pipe. The whistling noise could indicate a problem with a worn-out or loose belt or a leaking vacuum hose. It is best to have a mechanic inspect your car to diagnose and fix the issue.
Unburned gas can be caused by factors like a fuel mixture that is too rich, a problem with the ignition system that prevents complete combustion, or a malfunctioning exhaust system that does not properly expel exhaust gases. This can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased emissions.
A strong smell of aromatics coming out of the exhaust could indicate a rich fuel mixture or an issue with the catalytic converter. It is best to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and address the underlying problem.
A backfiring sound when letting off the gas could be caused by a rich air-fuel mixture igniting in the exhaust system. This could be due to an issue with the fuel injection system, a leaking exhaust valve, or a problem with the catalytic converter. It is important to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue.
Black exhaust typically indicates that the engine is burning too much fuel. This can be caused by issues such as a clogged air filter, malfunctioning fuel injectors, or a problem with the fuel mixture. It is important to address this issue promptly as it can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased emissions.
Well yes and no. Both have a 2.2 four cylinder if I'm not mistaken, but I don't think the earlier Cavalier's have the EcoTec motor. And you should be able to get the engine from the '03 into the '97 with no problem.
You can smell exhaust because your exhaust pipes and exhaust system has worn out. As a result, the exhaust and carbon monoxide it contains leaks inside the van. Soon, it will not be a problem because the carbon monoxide will have killed all of you.
Feel the exhaust manifold at each cylinder as it is running, if an injector isn't working the manifold at that cylinder exhaust port won't get hot. Some of those Ford diesels had a problem with the electrical connection where the injector harness passes through the valve covers.
A broken piston ring is the most common cause of water in the exhaust manifold. A bad valve in the cylinder head can also cause the problem.
combustion happens in the cylinder for the CHT so that is why temp peaks there first - then the hot gas is exhausted for the EGT - i would guess that a larger than normal difference between the temps would indicate a problem with gas flow, perhaps a breach or blockage in a cylinder or the exhaust system
Basic trouble shooting. Start with:Compression check first.Is the spark plug good? fouled. Cheap, replace it if your not sure.Is the Firing order correct?Is there spark at that plug?Is there fuel at that Cylinder?Is the exhaust for this cylinder plugged?Is the exhaust valve stuck shut (Bad Camshaft)If all this does not track down the problem Start over at the top.
The problem with cylinder heads on ef-el Falcons around 18,000 kms is loss of coolant. Yet, there are?æno evident leaks. This is due to leaks are behind the exhaust manifold and can only be seen by removing the heat shield.?æ
Because there is a problem, and you don't realise it!
Is it water or antifreeze ??? It is probley condensation. If it is cold outside were your at then this is what happens. The exhaust system is cold and when you start the engine the exhaust heat flowing through the cold exhaust pipes makes the exhaust sweat. And it looks like water is running out. Engine is running lean. Needs richen up. If it is antifreeze it will be smoking real white out of the exhaust. And that would mean a head gasket is leaking coolant into the piston cylinder. That is the most common problem with a antifreeze leak causing white smoke. I have seen intake manifolds leak coolant into the cylinder head ( runner ) but it is rare that happens. I don't think you have a problem.
Yes, a prolonged exhaust leak will eventually cause problems with your cylinder head. The leaking exhaust is very hot and you can cause small cracks in the head if you don't repair the problem promptly. If you can hear the exhaust leaking, it may already be too late! Get it checked out soon!
A misfire caused by the ignition system exhausts unburned fuel into the exhaust system that enters the catalytic converter and causes its temperature to rise dramatically. An exhaust issue could cause for cylinder 4 to misfire. The camshaft lobes, which are responsible for opening and closing the intake and exhaust vales, are another source for a misfire and rough running engine. The cam lobes for the No. 4 cylinder should be inspected to see if they have been worn down due to lack of oil or other mechanical problem. A damaged camshaft lobe will not allow a valve to open properly if at all.
Since the Cavalier is out of timing, check the timing gears and belt. It sounds like the belt has slipped and is causing the base problem with the car.
