Why is my 2004 Ford F150 (5.4L 3V Triton Engine) throwing the following codes: P0022, P0171, and P0355?
I know why it's throwing the P0022 code and it's due to the infamous cam phaser tick, but I'm mainly concerned with the misfire in cylinder 5. The latter two codes happened after replacing spark plugs and ignition coils. Overall I have done the following in the past 30 days: replaced fuel filter, fuel drive pump module (by spare tire), all spark plugs (Motorcraft SP515), all ignition coils (Accel), cam position sensors, VCT solenoids ("upgraded" Ford version), cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor. Now as for troubleshooting regarding cylinder 5 I switched fuel injector, ignition coil pack, AND spark plug (all at different times of course) and the code would NOT follow. I don't hear any vacuum leaks and I used a noid test kit to determine it's not the wiring harness for the fuel injector and ignition coil. IMO it could only be a clogged cat or a bad PCM...my truck has 152K miles. If you need to know anything else, just ask. Thanks!
Which is the best engine oil for the CB Shine BS4 having a daily run of 70km?
Shell & Motul make the best engine oils, as far as I know.Shell Ultra Advance - Rs. 1200 per litreMotul 300V - Rs. 1150 per litre.However, these are both top of the line racing spec engine oils.Stuff from Castrol, namely, the Castrol GTX would do fine.Recommended grades- 10W40, 15W50, 10W50.
How does a car engine work?
Generally cars engine are 4-stroke engine. In a 4-stroke engine there are four working cycles and they are suction, compression, power and exhaust. There are two types of 4-stroke engine namely CI (Compression ignition i.e Diesel ) engine and SI (Spark ignition i.e Petrol and gas) engine.Working:Suction stroke: In this stroke piston moves from TDC(Top dead centre) to BDC(bottom dead centre) and Air-Fuel mixture is sucked into the combustion chamber. Intake valve remain open and exhaust valve remain closed during this cycle.Compression stroke: In this stroke piston moves from BDC to TDC and the piston compresses the air-fuel mixture. Both the intake and exhaust valves are closed during this stage.Power: In this stroke piston moves from TDC to BDC and air-fuel mixture is ignited by means of spark plug which produces necessary spark required for ignition(in a gasoline engine i.e petrol or gas engine) or by heat generated by high compression (diesel engines).This stroke produces mechanical work from the engine to turn the crankshaft.Exhaust: In this stroke piston moves from BDC to TDC thereby driving the exhaust gases outside through the exhaust valve.Image source: GoogleHope this helps :)Cheers
How does an engine work?
Internal Combustion, as the name itself says the air/fuel mixture is burned inside the cylinder or combustion chamber.In I.C engines there are valves/ ports(depends on the no. of working stroke). Here the image is of 4-stroke I.C engine as it has valves mounted over the top.Inlet of Air/Fuel Mixture: The mixture enters through Intake valve, due to the pressure difference as the pressure outside the chamber is higher and fluid always flows from high pressure to low pressure. This is called as Inlet/Suction Stroke. In this stroke, the piston travels from top to bottom or generally written as from TDC(Top Dead Center) to BDC(Bottom Dead Center).Compression: Now, when the chamber is filled with mixture, the intake valve gets closed and the piston starts traveling from BDC-TDC. This Stroke is called as Compression Stroke. Here in this stroke the mixture is compressed inside the chamber and hence is pressurized leading to increase in temperature. Both the valves are kept closed (as adjusted during valve timing)Ignition/Burning of Fuel: Then it comes to take power out of the mixture, now the mixture just before the end of compression stroke is ignited with the help of a spark plug(only in case of Petrol Engines) provided at the top of chamber which gives spark to the mixture and hence power is taken from the source. This stroke is known as Power Stroke.Exhaust: The burned mixture produces flue gasses inside the chamber and are needed to be removed to repeat the same cycle which is again performed by the principle of pressure difference. This is called Exhaust stroke and at this time the exhaust valve is opened to allow the high pressure flue gasses to move out of chamber. In this way the linear motion of piston inside the cylinder is converted into rotational motion of crankshaft connected to it with the help of a connecting rod.
What happens if your spark plugs are wet?
If this isn't a diagnostic question, just curiosity, a water-wet plug has a high risk of misfiring. The water will typically conduct the current over the insulator rather than allowing it across the gap. The same could potentially happen if gas-wet.If you are asking for diagnostic reasons, if you have water in your cylinder, it may be excessive condensation if it has sat for a long time, it may have also ingested water. If coolant is the concern, you have a leak somewhere. Head gasket can be common, as well as intake gasket on some designs. Less common would be a cracked head, cracked block, or electrolytically perforated intake passage.
List of single engine kick-starting motorcycles above 350cc. What s out there ?
I intend to start a bobber project with a single engine kick-starter bike. XT 350 / 600 is the only bike I know for that purpose but I know there's more out there
Which application is better for running a PUBG mobile on a PC, Tencent engine or BlueStacks?
Ofcourse official emulator is best for PUBG MOBILE Even I'm using it.I can play PUBG mobile using official emulator in 40fps with 3gb ram,core 2 duo E6550 and GT 710.BlueStacks needs more resources to play games so it's better to choose official emulator for PUBG MOBILE.Here you can check : PUBGM: Tips To Get 'winner winner chicken dinner' For Beginners!!
Which bike is the best among Hero Glamour Fi, Honda CB Shine SP and Bajaj V15?
I would prefer a Non-FI bike to ensure high reliability and ease of maintenance. So left with the two Honda Shine and Bajaj V15 choose the one which you like.I am biased for Indian goods so would go for Bajaj V15 also it looks good. The difference between Bajaj and Honda bikes is quality of engine and mind it only engine. Honda engines are reliable, the best thing is their low vibration, low noise and don’t sound harsh. At the same time I would not rate Honda bikes to be great in other areas on build quality. I mean i have seen poor quality plastics, light weight chassis and electrical issues with Honda bikes so won’t rate them superior than other bikes or be it indian bikes. The only point where they excel is the engine. Honda bikes are reliable but generally the spare parts are costly and the company operated service centres are un-friendly and don’t care for customers much. (Experience from many of my friends)For Bajaj bikes, the styling is their strong point. But I will leave the styling point because its subjective. Bajaj engines are not that bad when compared to Honda and might last the same or a bit less than the Honda engines. The difference in engines is that a Honda engine will age well as compared to a Bajaj engine. But this does not mean that the Bajaj engines are unreliable and their quality is poor. With Bajaj the spare parts are cheap and the service centres are ok (compared to Honda)I would suggest test drive both the bikes. Give importance to seating posture, seating space, suspension and other points which cannot be changed in a bike once purchased. (It can be but modifications will cost a bomb)(Personally I love the styling of Bajaj V15 but like the Honda engine of Shine. Did I leave you confused? Sorry)
Should I choose cold or hot spark plugs?
this is one of those areas that people just dont seem to understand…the heat of a plug has nothing to do with the flame in the cylinder. they dont make an engine run any hotter or colder than it otherwise would.all it signifies is how hot the plug itself gets in operation.a COLD plug suits a HOT engine. which is why you see more and more new vehicles with high numbered plugs, such as ngk **11** or **13**, as they run lean, and hot.a HOT plug suits a COLD engine… which is why lawnmowers use low number plugs, using ngk again… numbers such as **5** or **7**.a hot plug holds heat, retains it. it gets hot. which is good for an engine that runs slowly, or a twostroke that has to burn oil off its insulator and electrodes. if the engine is tuned correctly but plugs come out dark brown to black…get a hotter plug. if its a generator that spends most of its life putting away at 3000rpm…get the hotter plug.once the electrode starts melting and the insulator comes out bone white or even blistered…its TOO hot. (or, as ive found with some engine/plug combos, you get seriously bad pre-ignition…)with the exact right plug heat range, and a perfect tune, the plug comes out looking virtually “as new”. white, or just a shade of tan.if the engine is used at full throttle, all day long, in tropical heat… get a cold plug.you will usually find manufacturers list two, sometimes three plugs as suitable, with a small note saying that the “8 is suitable for inner city use” and the “9 or 10 is more suited to racing or high load use”
At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3680-kg sp?
At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3680-kg space tug and a 6310-kg asteroid. They pull on the asteroid with a force of 429 N. Initially the tug and the asteroid are at rest, 576 m apart. How much time does it take for the ship and the asteroid to meet?
