Fuel and Engines
We commonly relate fuel and engines with gasoline. Other engines also run on natural gas such as propane and “bio-fuels” such as ethanol. The principle remains the same as the fuel induces internal combustion.

Vehicle running hot? and fan trying to cool it down
Bad temperature sensor?
Do diesel engines need spark plugs to ignite the fuel?
Diesel engines use heat and compression to ignite fuel. Although not needed in more modern diesel's many had glow plugs in a similar placement that is used to add the required heat for starting, but are not needed once at temperature. With higher injection pressures allowing a finer mist of fuel, thus requiring less heat and compression, glow plugs have largely been eliminated (but still have other heaters for cold weather starts.)
Who are the best engineers in the world?
There are great engineers in many countries throughout the world.
Differences between petrol and diesel engines?
sic difference between Petrol and Diesel engines that the difference of fuel and their mixture..in diesel we only compresses the Air and sprays Diesel but in Petrol Engines we compresses both the air and Petrol together and gets burnt with the the help of spark given by the Spark plug.
I must add this, also the thermodynamic cycle is so different in diesel engines rather than petroleum engines. You can fined more in Reed's series volume 12

What would cause cylinder 6 to misfire in a 4.6L 1996 Lincoln Town Car?
a simple cause would be if distributor equiped carbon trace on the distributor cap,bad contact point,bad ignition wire(spark plug wire) if direct ignition then it could be a bad coil. another reason a clogged injector.,low compression.
Will a smog test deterime if you have a bad spark plug or wire?
No. It will just report that emissions are too high. The report may list spark plugs or wires as a possible cause for the high emissions. But the test itself cannot pinpoint them as the cause.
How do you stop the engine from misfiring in a 2002 Ford Focus?
do a routine tune up. normal parts replacement parts. If no success then take it to a parts store and ask them to put it on a scan tester. It may help identify the problem. It could be many different things that could cause the misfire. Things from the main computer to a dirty, or fouled plug. It could also be bad gas, clogged filter, or injectors. lots of possible reasons. The scan tool is the best place to start. hope it helps. duboff

pretty much like any engine. piston goes up, fuel explodes, piston goes down, etc. Every 240 degrees of rotation a spark ignites a fuel mix and makes it go roundy round.
IF it has the 4.0 engine, they are common for carbon build up around the valves, preventing them from turning and maintaining a good seal. Using a chemical cleaner for intake valves may help.
