Why Engine Won't Start? |
January 02, 2022
|
by Larry Carley WHEN AN ENGINE WON'T STARTEvery engine requires four basic ingredients to start: sufficient cranking speed, good compression, adequate ignition voltage (with correct timing) and fuel (a relatively rich air/fuel mixture initially). So any time an engine fails to start, you can assume it lacks one of these four essential ingredients. But which one?To find you, you need to analyze the situation. If the engine won't crank, you are probably dealing with a starter or battery pro... |

The Firing Order of Automotive Engine |
January 03, 2022
|
Chevy Firing OrderThe firing order of an engine is the sequence the spark plugs fire. On engines with a distributor, the firing order is determined by the routing of the spark plug wires from the distributor cap to the spark plugs in each cylinder. When the piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke, the rotor inside the distributor should be aligned with the number one (#1) spark plug terminal in the distributor cap. Depending on which way the distributor rotates (clockwise or... |

Spark Plugs and Ignition Performance |
January 03, 2022
|
by Larry Carley Platinum and iridium have become a buzzword for ignition durability. Platinum and iridium are good conductors of heat and electricity. Both metals also have the ability to resist chemical corrosion and electrical erosion. That is why platinum and iridium are used on the electrodes of many spark plugs today.Some plugs have a solid platinum or iridium center electrode, while others have a small button of platinum welded onto the tip of center electrode or both electrodes (single pl... |
