2. Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation

   However, uncooled EGR designs do exist; these are often referred to as hot-gas recirculation (HGR). Cooled EGR components are exposed to repeated, rapid changes in temperatures, which can cause coolant leak and catastrophic engine failure. [9] [10] Unlike spark-ignition engines, diesel engines are not limited by the need for a contiguous ...

3. Check engine light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_engine_light

   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 uses 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 ...

4. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   The reed valve opens when the crankcase pressure is slightly below intake pressure, to let it be filled with a new charge; this happens when the piston is moving upwards. When the piston is moving downwards the pressure in the crankcase increases and the reed valve closes promptly, then the charge in the crankcase is compressed.

5. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

   The crankcase air outlet, where the PCV valve is located, is generally placed as far as possible from the crankcase breather. For example, the breather and outlet are frequently on opposite valve covers on a V engine, or on opposite ends of the valve cover on an inline engine. The PCV valve is often, but not always, placed at the valve cover ...

6. Flooded engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooded_engine

   This is most likely to occur on a carbureted engine in cold weather, after a running engine has been shut off briefly before being restarted. Doing so can cause the choke valve to configure the mixture for a cold engine start, despite higher actual temperatures, resulting in an overly rich mixture and flooded engine.

7. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

   Break-in or breaking in, also known as run-in or running in, is the procedure of conditioning a new piece of equipment by giving it an initial period of running, usually under light load, but sometimes under heavy load or normal load. It is generally a process of moving parts wearing against each other to produce the last small bit of size and ...

8. Mitsubishi 4J1 engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_4J1_engine

   Comparing to previous engine series valvetrain configuration was changed from DOHC to SOHC, Variable valve lift (VVL) technology added. The engine usually is paired with the ecological features like Start-Stop system and EGR. That engine mostly is appearing in the cars Lancer X, ASX, Outlander on several markets across Japan, Europe and Latin ...

9. Compression release - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release

   The most common kind of small engine compression release uses a camshaft mounted mechanical lever that pushes the exhaust valve tappet slightly, venting engine compression through the exhaust valve. Once the engine spins to starting speed, centrifugal force causes the lever to move out of the way, and the exhaust valve is allowed to seat fully.
