    Predictive combustion simulations for “downsized” direct injection spark-ignition engines: solutions for pre-ignition (“mega-knock”), misfire, extinction, flame propagation and conventional “knock”, cmcl innovations, accessed June 2010. Engine Basics: Detonation and Pre-Ignition, Allen W. Cline, accessed June 2007.

  3. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    The base of a reciprocating internal combustion engine is the engine block, which is typically made of cast iron (due to its good wear resistance and low cost) [22] or aluminum. In the latter case, the cylinder liners are made of cast iron or steel, [ 23 ] or a coating such as nikasil or alusil .

  4. Air-blast injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-blast_injection

    The injection pressure is between 5 and 7 MPa which limits the rotational frequency. Also, with increasing engine load, the injection pressure must be reduced to prevent misfire. [13] Neither disc hole diameter calculation nor the proper size of the discs were known engineering knowledge at the beginning of the 20th Century.

    The only common feature with its predecessors is the sharing of the same 88 mm (3.46 in) cylinder spacing – which keeps the engine length relatively short, meaning it can be installed either transversely or longitudinally, though engineers have said that it is an evolution of the earlier EA827/113 designs due to cost concerns.

  6. Wankel engine - Wikipedia

    It also proved that a Reed-valve in the intake port or ducts [76] improved the low rpm and partial load performance of Wankel engines, by preventing blow-back of exhaust gas into the intake port and ducts, and reducing the misfire-inducing high EGR, at the cost of a slight loss of power at top rpm. Elasticity is improved with a greater rotor ...

  7. Top Tier Detergent Gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Tier_Detergent_Gasoline

    Too-little fuel around the spark plug dampens the combustion that drives the piston downward and may cause a misfire. When the frequency of misfires reaches a certain point, the on-board computer turns on the "service engine" light on the dash. The repair for this type of problem depends on the severity of the deposits.

  8. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  9. Low-speed pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-Speed_Pre-Ignition

    LSPI events are random and infrequent, and their effects on impacted vehicles can include very high-pressure spikes, loud knocking noises and sometimes catastrophic engine damage. [4] It's commonly known as "Detonation or Knock". Engine management systems can overcome pre ignition by the means of a knock or detonation sensor.
