Most air conditioning-equipped engines have an automatic adjustment feature in the carburetor or fuel injection system that raises the idle when the air conditioning is running. Engines modified for power at high engine speeds, such as auto racing engines, tend to have very rough (unstable) idle unless the idle speed is raised significantly.
The result is an engine that fails to maintain idle RPM and frequently stalls. A jammed actuator may be freed simply by cleaning it. However an actuator that has stopped working due to a fault in its servomotor will need replacement. Air leaks in either the stepper housing or pipes will cause elevated idle RPM.
Indeed, General Motors has issued a Technical Service Bulletin, indicating problems from rough idle all the way to possible transmission damage resulting from the contaminated sensors. To clean the delicate MAF sensor components, a specific MAF sensor cleaner or electronics cleaner should be used, not carburetor or brake cleaners, which can be ...
You may idle while waiting in a drive-through line, picking up a curbside order or dropping off the kids at school or when you're stuck in standstill traffic. Though idling is common, it's not ...
How the car warm-up routine began The winter warm-up routine started decades ago when vehicles were more prone to stalling in frigid temperatures, according to Carfax.
Needle valves are usually used in flow-metering applications, especially when a constant, calibrated, low flow rate must be maintained for some time, such as the idle fuel flow in a carburettor. Note that the float valve of a carburettor (controlling the fuel level within the carburettor) is not a needle valve, although it is commonly described ...
Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere.. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold.
Idle management technologies have been developed as an upfitting solution to answer idling concerns. Similar to a start-stop system, idle management technologies can control the vehicle while in Park are Neutral, which allows for extensive control when the vehicle is in its primary state of issue—at idle. Some idle management technologies are ...
