I had this same problem and it had nothing to do with the fan but the transmission. The dealership did some computer upgrade and fixed the problem The older model years should have had a PCM re-flash from the dealer. If this problem re-occurs after the fan-clutch is replaced then a reflash is needed. There are many cases where the reflash is the only correstion needed and the dealer is the only place it can be done unless you know a PCM tuner shop.
What is a gas turbine compressor bleed valve?
Valve which is meant to siphon off a portion of the flow from another system.
A heavy-duty gas turbine employs compressor bleed valves to protect the axial compressor during start-up and shutdown against stalling and surging conditions. These valves are typically only open during acceleration to rated speed and deceleration from rated speed. Newer heavy-duty gas turbine with complex combustion system arrangements designed to limit emission of harmful gases also employ the compressor bleed valves during very light loading to limit the amount of air entering the combustor.
Compressor bleed valves discharge into the gas turbine exhaust duct. Compressor bleed valves are generally closed during normal operation (with the previous exception) since "dumping" axial compressor discharge into the exhaust reduces efficiency (but it's MANDATORY during start-up and acceleration to protect the compressor!). Compressor bleed valves are generally either fully open or fully closed; they are not modulated.
Heavy-duty gas turbines also employ inlet bleed heat valves to recirculate a portion of the axial compressor discharge back to the inlet of the axial compressor for a variety of functions. One application uses them to heat the inlet air to prevent icing on the compressor inlet (appropriately called anti-icing protection); another application uses inlet bleed heat to protect the axial compressor when the IGVs (axial compressor Inlet Guide Vanes) are closed below the "normal" operating conditions ("normal" being before complicated combustion systems designed to limit exhaust emissions were invented).
Inlet bleed heat control valves are modulated to control the amount of air recirculated back to the axial compressor inlet. Recirculating axial compressor discharge back to the inlet is also inefficient, but is generally limited to approximately 5% of rated air flow through the compressor--and necessary to protect the compressor at low IGV angles. Inlet bleed heat valves are generally closed before the unit reaches rated load (except for anti-icing protection) and should be closed during rated power output (Base Load) operation (except for anti-icing protection).
What is cracked engine housing in diesel engine?
A cracked "engine housing" probably means a cracked block. Very not good. A new engine will most likely be required to fix the problem, as a cracked block is next to impossible to repair.
What is stiochiometric air fuel ratio?
It is when the "correct" air to fuel ratio is used to completely burn the fuel in question in an internal combustion engine.
If exactly the correct amount of air is used this is called the stoichiometric mix.
2.4 twin cam Chevy engine is it a interference engine?
is the 2000 grand am sedan 2.4 twin cam an interferance motor
How do you reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the internal combustion engine?
The best way would be to keep your fuel system clean, keep air filter clean, always keep your o2 sensors in good condition, and make sure your catylytic converter is in good condition
Do you need to drain the coolant when removing the cylinder heads?
It would be recommended otherwise you will end up with some coolant in the crankcase which you don't want.
Can you use gasoline engine oil in a diesel engine?
No, absolutely not. Diesel engines run at a much higher compression than gasoline engines. A typical gasoline engine has a compression ration of 10:1 while the typical diesel compression ratio is 20:1 or higher. The diesel burns fuel through compression and the gasoline burns by ignition. You must use an oil with an API rating of C (Compression) in a diesel. Gasoline engines use API rating S (Spark). Use exactly the proper weight and API rating as listed in your owner's manual. Use a gasoline motor oil and you will destroy that diesel engine.
-IMPROVED - I totally agree with Almostevil. I own a diesel and this is what I use. So, I didn't "improve" his answer but do back it up!
Do you have a 1998 Nissan Frontier engine diagram?
A 1998 Nissan Frontier engine diagram is available through a service repair manual. Auto repair shops also have data bases that have these engine diagrams available to be printed out for their consumers.
What kind of diesel engines are on refrigeration trailers?
The main two refrigeration giants are Thermo King and Carrier
Gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine where a diesel is an internal compression engine. Gasoline is highly flammable and explodes when an electrical spark is applied to it where diesel explodes when it is put under pressure
Is a internal combustion engine a type of engine?
Well, you have rocket engines and jet engines which aren't internal combustion engines, and various types of internal combustion (Otto cycle -- what you probably have in most cars, Diesel cycle like small diesel cars and trucks, Wankel cycle like in Mazda rotary engines like the RX series, and 2-stroke like in dirt bikes and lawnmowers). There are also Stirling engines which work on heat differential but don't make a lot of power and are usually quite tiny and for demonstration or cooling purposes.
So yes, internal combustion engines are a type of engine.
When did Henry Ford invent the internal combustion engine?
Henry Ford's breakthrough was in applying mass production techniques to car manufacture. For the concept and practical invention of the 4 stroke engine see the wikipedia article on the history of the internal combustion engine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_internal_combustion_engine
Is the mitsubishi 4g69 engine an interference engine?
what is the compression ratio,boreXstroke & dimension of 4g69 engine.
What do you mean by cyinder in engine?
The cylinder, is the body of the engine that has been bored out in order to place a piston inside of it. The piston rides inside the cylinder.
What montiors the engine for a misfiring engine?
if you mean that the distributor is not firing right, then there is a sensor on the back of your distributor (depending on your car year, but most likely) if you mean the timing is off, then the knock sensor i guess
Why the engine of a 1999 4runner will not start after a soft rollover?
Is the 1998 neon DOHC 2.0 engine a non-interference engine?
The engine is an interference engine, if the timing belt breaks or slips it will cause damage to the valves and possibly the pistons.
What is the difference between ic engine and ec engine?
IC & EC engines are heat engines and they convert heat into work. Example of an IC engine is a petrol engine and example of an EC engine is Steam Engine. The main differences between them are listed below:
1) Combustion: The main difference is where the combustion takes places. In IC engines fuel combustion takes place inside the cylinder, whereas in EC engines it takes place outside the engine cylinder.
2) The temperature and pressure in an IC engines is much higher than those of EC engines.
3) IC engines are made of materials that are better resistant to heat and pressure than in EC engines.
4) In IC engines the piston is directly connected to connecting rod, whereas in an EC engine there is a stuffing box.
5) Efficiency is higher for IC engines.
6) Boilers are required for EC engines to store water, which is to be converted to steam. But IC engines require only a much smaller tank to store fuel.
7) EC engines, unlike IC engines cannot be started or stopped quickly, because it takes time to initiate boiling of water and generate steam.
8) IC engines are lighter than EC engines.
9) IC engines are cheaper compared to EC engines.
Distinguish between First Angle Projection method and third angle projection method?
right side view draw in left side and left side view draw in right side is called third angle projection
Which engine is bigger 350 cubic inch engine or a 5500 cubic centimeter engine?
350 cubic inch ( 5.7 liters / 5700 cc )
Is the international dt 444 engine a good engine?
The engine is widely considered one of the best diesels for medium duty trucks and buses ever designed.
