  2. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

    In spark-ignition internal combustion engines, knocking (also knock, detonation, spark knock, pinging or pinking) occurs when combustion of some of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not result from propagation of the flame front ignited by the spark plug, but when one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front.

  3. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    In all cases, electromigration can cause changes in dimensions and parameters of the transistor gates and semiconductor junctions. Mechanical stresses, high currents, and corrosive environments forming of whiskers and short circuits. These effects can occur both within packaging and on circuit boards. Formation of silicon nodules.

  4. 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.

  5. Engine control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_control_unit

    This kind of electronic control is less common in piston-engined light fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters than in automobiles. This is due to the common configuration of a carbureted engine with a magneto ignition system that does not require electrical power generated by an alternator to run, which is considered a safety advantage.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fault

    A simple example of an effectively random cause in a physical system is a borderline electrical connection in the wiring or a component of a circuit, where (cause 1, the cause that must be identified and rectified) two conductors may touch subject to (cause 2, which need not be identified) a minor change in temperature, vibration, orientation ...

    Kia is recalling over 62,000 of its 2022-2024 EV6 vehicles. The automobile manufacturer is recalling 62,872 cars for a loss of drive power from a damaged charging unit. In the National Highway ...

  8. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    The exhaust note and power delivery resemble those of a 90° V-twin engine. Straight-three engines most commonly use a 120° crankshaft design and have the following characteristics: Firing interval is perfectly regular (although the power strokes are not overlapping). Primary and secondary reciprocating-plane balance is perfect.
