Engine braking, also known as compression release braking, is a method of braking used particularly in motor vehicles with large diesel engines. It uses the engine to assist in slowing the vehicle down, rather than relying solely on mechanical brakes.
Here's how engine brake works:
1. Engine brake is activated when the driver takes their foot off the accelerator. This causes the vehicle's speed control valve (throttle) to close.
2. With the speed control valve closed, air is blocked from the coming into the cylinder of the engine from the intake manifold.
3. During the cylinder’s piston upward movement (compression stroke), the already trapped air is compressed but with nowhere to go since the throttle is closed.
4. When the compressed air has nowhere to go, it pushes back on the piston again. The force required to push the piston back down on the power stroke slows the engine's crankshaft, reducing the rotation speed of the vehicle's drive wheels.
5. This process of air compression creates resistance, or drag, which slows the vehicle down.
6. The ignition system doesn't ignite fuel in the cylinders during engine braking, so it's a way to convert the vehicle’s kinetic energy back into heat generated by compression.
7. Lastly, when the driver puts their foot back on the accelerator, the speed control valve reopens, air flows back into the cylinder, and the engine returns to powering the vehicle forward.
It's important to note that using engine braking isn't recommended in all driving situations, but can be beneficial in prolonging the life of mechanical braking systems, especially when hauling heavy loads or descending steep slopes. Some vehicles are equipped with a separate system known as an exhaust or Jake brake, which uses engine braking to a greater extent.
Yes, faulty or worn-out spark plugs can trigger the check engine light (CEL) on a car's dashboard. Spark plugs are crucial for initiating the combustion process in an internal combustion engine. They provide the necessary spark to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. Over time, spark plugs can become degraded or fouled due to normal wear or engine conditions. When this happens, the engine may misfire, run less efficiently, or have difficulty starting. These issues can cause the engine management system to detect a problem and turn on the CEL as a warning. Depending on the vehicle's make and model, the CEL can activate for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to spark plug or ignition coil issues. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of spark plugs according to the manufacturer's guidelines can help prevent such issues and keep the engine running smoothly.
Yes, bad or failing spark plugs can cause the check engine light to come on. Faulty spark plugs can cause a misfire, which in turn causes an incorrect amount of fuel to be sent into the exhaust system. This can trigger the computer to illuminate the check engine light.
To safely retrieve a kitten stuck in a car engine. it is important to first turn off the vehicle and allow it to cool down. If the kitten is frightened. it may retreat further into the engine. so remaining calm is key. Using a gentle voice or tempting with food can coax the kitten out. If this doesn't work. carefully opening the hood may be necessary. It is best to use a flashlight to locate the kitten and decide on the most gentle approach for removal. Removing certain engine parts may be an option if done carefully and without causing any harm. However. if you are unsure or unable to safely retrieve your kitten. seeking assistance from an animal care center or mechanic is advised for both your safety and that of the kitten. Always prioritize safety when dealing with this situation.
