Yes, putting diesel in a gasoline engine will indeed cause harm. Diesel fuel is much denser and oilier than gasoline. When diesel is mistakenly introduced into a gas engine, it fails to ignite properly due to the engine's design for the more volatile gasoline. This results in a lack of combustion, meaning the engine either won't start or runs very poorly if it starts at all. The immediate effects include potential damage to the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and other components of the fuel system due to diesel's different lubrication properties and higher flash point. In severe cases, it could lead to costly repairs or necessitate parts replacement. If this mistake happens, it's crucial to drain the diesel from the tank and flush the fuel system before attempting to start the engine to minimize damage.
Yes, check engine lights can go away after some time if the problem that caused it to turn on is resolved. However, it doesn't mean the problem has necessarily gone away for good. There may still be lingering issues with the vehicle that need to be addressed.
In some cases, the light may come on for a minor issue, such as a loose gas cap. Once the cap is tightened, the light can go away. However, the light can also indicate more serious problems like engine misfires or transmission issues which will not go away on their own.
It's always best to get your vehicle checked by a professional when the check engine light comes on, even if it goes off on its own, to ensure there aren't any lingering problems. In some vehicles, even after the issue is fixed, the light remains on until it's manually reset.
Historically, Maserati has indeed utilized Ferrari engines in several of their models, a partnership that stemmed from when both companies were under the Fiat Group umbrella. This collaboration allowed Maserati to benefit from Ferrari's renowned performance and engineering excellence. Notable examples include the Maserati Quattroporte and GranTurismo models that were equipped with Ferrari-developed V8 engines. However, since Ferrari spun off from FCA (now Stellantis, which Maserati is part of) in 2016, Maserati has announced plans to develop its own engines. The recent models are set to feature engines designed and built by Maserati themselves, marking a new chapter in the company's history of powertrain development.
Yes, some Maserati models used to use Ferrari engines. For instance, the Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli models from certain years were equipped with Ferrari engines. However, as of 2021, Maserati announced that they will start using in-house engines and move away from using Ferrari engines in their newer models.
