Combustion Engines

Bank 1 includes cylinder number 1. Bank 2 is the other side.

Manufacturers like to brag about their fuel injection to sell more boats, so the easiest way is to look for EFI or MPFI on the engine cover. Other than that, fuel injectors are electronic, so they will have extra wires going to them and the sensors that accompany them. A carburetor might have 2 wires going to an electric choke if that.

1.9L SOHC in the SL1, The SL2 has a 1.9L DOHC.

I Get 38mpg from mine.

I've had the same problem. mine was fixed with a couple different steps. 1. Take to ford dealership have them change out fuel pump for free under recall. 2. change the fuel filter myself. 3. change out PCV hose and PCV valve. 4. clean throttle body. 5. use electronic cleaner to clean out MAF sensor. 6. change air filter. This made a huge difference in my car and hopefully helps you

No , the 2.5 liter - 4 cylinder engine in a 1998 Ford Ranger IS NOT an interference

A static load varies slowly, a dynamic load changes with time pretty fast. In order for one to find the answer to this type of structural dynamic question, one might ask the help of a scientist.

1. When the piston rings gets weak the piston take an different agnle for its motion it acuse wear and tear in the cylinder liner and become oval shape there fore the pistor ring can't hold the compression properly

2. Hot spots

3. Back fire

Another answer

I have been a mechanic for 40 years, and the above answer is not correct, Diesels do not backfire, hot spots have nothing to do with Blow by, rings never take a different angle. Not to say that rings cannot wear and loose their knife edge that helps to remove varnish created by oxidized oil on the cylinder walls causing an un even surface and letting compression BLOW BY, as well as carbon acid that is formed in the combustion cycle.

There is a product that can help restore the seal of the rings and stop the wear, I have used Cerma with STM-3 for the last 10 years and it seems to correct the problem with stuck rings due to lacquer build up on the walls of the cylinder. Cerma products have help my business when all other ideas failed, short of a complete rebuild.

3rd try: Ring, cylinder and piston wear if it happened slowly over time. I see quite a few sudden failures now, which is caused by burned or holed pistons. Plan on a complete overhaul.

Hate to disagree with you on the backfire issue. But diesels can backfire. I was in a pit with one that did. Couldn't hear for about an hour. Another one blew a muffler apart. Rare but it can happen. Agree with the rest of your post. Where can you buy Cerma.

yes you can....although after 40hrs looking , I still dont know how

The Check Engine light indicates a problem with the emissions system. Even though the engine may seem to be running OK, you need to have this looked at by a tech. Damage to the converter or other parts may occur if it is not repaired.

autozone.com is a great sight for repair guides and online manuals.

I would first replace the PCV valve as it may be simply stuck open.

if its a 2.5 liter v6 it is The 4 cylinders are also.

about 190 degrees GXE 195-205 on the SE it opens about 192-195 Kongkit Raggan-Supatanampon

Well, the answer to that question really depends on how much time and money you want to spend - nearly anything is possible. I would say on the conservative end, the 2.0L, 2.2L, and 2.6L engines from 1986 to 1993 models are all very similar and would be relatively easy to swap depending on additional items like the computer for the later fuel injected engines and I think the 2.6L exhaust is on opposite side from the 2.0L and 2.2L. Nearly any 4 cylinder or V6 with a matching rear wheel drive tranny would be a viable choice also. I've heard some ford engines are "almost" bolt-in. On the extreme end, I have seen small and big block Chevy V8 conversions, but don't know all that would be involved.

Personally, I once owned a 1987 B2000, and swapped in a Buick 3.8L V6 from a rear wheel drive Pontiac Sunbird. The Mazda engine mounts were cut and spread to match the bolt holes on the V6 block, and B2000 tranny cross member was lowered and it all bolted right in. The B2000 drive shaft had to be modified to mate up to the tranny from the sunbird (a 5 speed with overdrive by the way). Be sure you find a drive line shop that knows what they're doing or you'll get really bad vibrations, and remember measure 5 times and cut once - it's fairly cheap to cut a drive shaft shorter, but quite another to make it longer. The radiator from the sunbird was fitted in the B2000. The big problem was the hydraulic slave from the B2000 clutch didn't have enough travel to work the clutch on the Buick 3.8L, and there was no place under the B2000 dash to mount the clutch cable from the sunbird. I ended up swapping in a THM250 auto tranny which required a tranny cooler in the radiator and aftermarket shifter mounted inside. The auto tranny was a tight fit under the B2000 and rubbed on the bottom of the floor. Other thing was finding a low profile air filter to fit under the stock hood as I had a edlbrock hi-rise intake and 4 barrel carb. The stock 2 barrel and air filter from the Sunbird did fit under the stock B2000 hood though. The rest is small details that you can work out if that's the direction you want to go...

Not without a lot of work.

You will need to replace the motor mounts, ECU and transmission. Far from a direct swap.

you can find out which transmission by taking VIN # to a Isuzu dealer

It depends on the engine you are talking about, but I assume you mean a common internal combustion engine found in cars, so I will discuss that first. Basically you have a block of metal that has holes drilled into it called cylinders. Inside each cylider is a piston which is attached to a crankshaft. There are usually 4,6 or 8 and sometimes 5 pistons in a common vehicle but there are also 1, 2, 3,10,12, and 16 cylinder engines in motorcylces (1,2), some small cars (3) and big trucks (10) or supercars like ferarries or bugattis (10,12,16). The pistons are attached to a crank shaft that when turned will pull some pistons down and push others up. When a piston is pulled down it sucks fuel and air into the cylinder and then when it is pushed back up it compresses the fuel and air and ignites it with a spark from the sparkplug. The resulting "explosion" forces the piston down, which inturn forces other pistons up and the cycle repeats. After the explosion occurs the piston goes down and then is pushed back up by the force from the other pistons which inturn forces the exhaust out of the engine. This is the basic concept of the internal combustion engine.

Other engines include the rotary engine (which in my opinion is very cool), the jet engine, turbine engines, rocket engines and many others. If you go to www.howstuffworks.com and type in any of those, they will give you a decent explanation of how they work along with some visuals to help you understand it better.

Internal combustion engine is where the fuel is ignited in the cylinder to make the piston move, petrol or diesel.

A steam engine has an external pressure vessel to supply the steam to the cylinder to push the piston. the is no combustion in the engine as such.

you can do 1500km with a full gas tank just highway 80-90 mph

I also did about 30mpg on highway, driven at 110-120mph with 5 people total in the car with luggage

Impressive figures, the car was a 110hp hdi

I have a 2003 406 Estate with 2.0 HDi in New Zealand and I get 5.7 L/100km (49.5 mpgImp) highway and 6.0 L/100km (47 mpgImp) mixed city/highway. Doesn't seem to change much laden or unladen. Towing a small caravan with serious wind resistance I get about 8.0 L/100km.
