On the other hand, a spark plug which is too cold, will tend to not burn all of the
air fuel mixture within the cylinder, which also means worse gas mileage and sub-par performance as well.
If they do it is usually at the
fuel pump and would not impact your
air /
fuel mixture in any way.
Typically bad emissions are due to an incorrect
mixture of
air and
fuel.
As @Fred Wilson mentioned in his comment, if the MAF sensor that you replaced isn't the one made specifically for your car, then it won't be able to correctly control the
air fuel mixture.
There are basically 3 things you need to consider for timing - engine RPM,
air /
fuel ratio, and volume of
air fuel mixture in the cylinder.
What the ECU does is create a very specific
mixture of this
fuel, vapor, and
air that is needed to create the high energy burn that makes the engine turn.
@MeltingDog, if by flooding you mean that the
air -
fuel mixture is too rich for ignition to take place then yes, that is the hypothesis.
The
fuel /
air mixture gets sucked through the engine like normal but fails to combust due to being too thin.
This tells me that the cold - start enrichment, where the
air -
fuel mixture entering the cylinders is slightly rich, isn't taking place.
It turned out to be the
air fuel mixture, fiddling with the little adjustment screw on the carburettor sorted out the problems.
A couple that come to mind are the volume or
air /
fuel mixture (Why timing is advanced when under less load / higher vacuum) and
air /
fuel ratio (why timing is pulled when the engine is cold).
The
air fuel mixture is compressed by the rising piston.
Using a lower octane
fuel than recommended can result in the
fuel /
air mixture self - igniting (commonly called «knocking»).
On my car, I know that below a certain amount of manifold pressure (30kpa on my car, 100kpa being atmospheric pressure) the
fuel /
air mixture can't reliably combust.
The result is an incorrect
air -
fuel mixture than can create a number of problems, such as hard starting, a rough idle, hesitation, misfiring or a drop in
fuel economy — issues that could, without proper diagnosis, seem to have other causes, such as incorrect ignition timing or fouled spark plugs.
The stalling symptom is an indication that the
air -
fuel mixture is not being metered correctly.
Once this
mixture of
fuel droplets, and
air is inside the cylinder, and a spark occurs do the
air molecules gain kinetic energy, then collide into the atomised
fuel, and the individual
fuel molecules break apart thus turning
fuel from a liquid to a gas (vaporisation), then those
fuel molecules combines with the
air molecule, then combustion occurs?
This flame ball sends a shockwave down towards the upcoming piston, producing an effective secondary piston, squeezing the

This is because it will have a race camshaft which opens the inlet valves very early, it may hold the inlet and exhuast valves open at the same time to improve chamber filling using the negative pressure in the exhaust (i.e. scavange it's inlet plenum) and it will keep the valves open for as long as possible to let the maximum about of
