MIL on a running engine indicating malfunction in engine control system. A check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system used to indicate a malfunction or problem with the vehicle ranging from minor (such as a loose gas cap) to serious (worn spark plugs, engine problems or a ...
A cam engine is a reciprocating engine where instead of the conventional crankshaft, the pistons deliver their force to a cam that is then caused to rotate. The output work of the engine is driven by this cam. [1] A variation of the cam engine, the swashplate engine (also the closely related wobble-plate engine), was briefly popular. [2]
Two-stroke engines often have a higher power-to-weight ratio than a four-stroke engine, since their power stroke occurs twice as often. Two-stroke engines can also have fewer moving parts, and thus be cheaper to manufacture and weigh less. In countries and regions with stringent emissions regulation, two-stroke engines have been phased out in ...
With the basic design of the engine already frozen, Cosworth's work included revising the port and camshaft shapes and extensive development work with a focus on reliability. Based on a 2.0E block with bore and stroke of 95.2 mm × 85 mm (3.7 in × 3.3 in), the engine displaced 2,420 cc (147.7 cu in). [9] Compression was 11.5:1.
A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder.In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines primarily the intake stroke and the combustion stroke, while the other stroke primarily combines the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke, though technically since both ports are exposed during both the combustion and compression strokes, some reversion ...

In April 2016, the Chinese car manufacturer Qoros presented a concept car incorporating Freevalve technology. [20] In March 2020, Koenigsegg Automotive AB announced its first four-seater car, the Gemera, which is powered by a sequentially turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-three engine in conjunction with three electric motors. Two of those electric ...
Myth #2: Red cars cost more to insure. One of the most persistent myths about auto insurance is that insurance companies charge more to insure red cars.
