  2. Fan clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_clutch

    A fan clutch is a thermostatic engine cooling fan that can freewheel at low temperatures when cooling is not needed, allowing the engine to warm up faster, relieving unnecessary load on the engine. As temperatures increase, the clutch engages so that the fan is driven by engine power and moves air to cool the engine.

  3. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

    An engine that is running hotter than normal due to a cooling system problem (low coolant level, slipping fan clutch, inoperative electric cooling fan or other cooling system problem) Auto-ignition of engine oil droplets (Can be solved by using an oil catch tank) [3] Insufficient oil in the engine; Ignition timing too far advanced

  4. Idle air control actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_air_control_actuator

    Although the IAC is supposed to last the vehicle's lifetime, various reasons may cause it to fail/malfunction prematurely. The most common failure mode is partial/complete jamming of the actuator (due to dirt/dust or even oil) where it cannot be smoothly controlled. The result is an engine that fails to maintain idle RPM and frequently stalls.

  5. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

    a thermostat to control temperature by varying the amount of coolant going to the radiator; a fan to draw cool air through the radiator. The combustion process produces a large amount of heat. If heat were allowed to increase unchecked, detonation would occur, and components outside the engine would fail due to excessive temperature. To combat ...

  6. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    Bent connecting rod after Hydrolock Same connecting rod, turned 90°. Hydrolock (a shorthand notation for hydrostatic lock or hydraulic lock) is an abnormal condition of any device which is designed to compress a gas by mechanically restraining it; most commonly the reciprocating internal combustion engine, the case this article refers to unless otherwise noted.

  7. Troubleshooting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting

    It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms. Determining the most likely cause is a process of elimination—eliminating potential causes of a problem. Finally, troubleshooting requires confirmation that ...

  8. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Vibration occurs around the axis of a crankshaft, since the connecting rods are usually located at different distances from the resistive torque (e.g. the clutch). This vibration is not transferred to outside of the engine, however fatigue from the vibration could cause crankshaft failure. Radial engines do not experience torsional imbalance.

  9. Head gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

    If the combustion gases are leaking into the cooling system, this reduces the effectiveness of the cooling system and can cause the engine to overheat. In other occurrences the gases can leak into small spaces between the gasket and either the cylinder head or engine block traps those gases, and then released when the engine is turned off.
