If the ECU has no valid information about the engine temperature (due to a damaged sensor)
the fuel mixture during engine start gets calculated incorrectly.
Not exact matches
Conventional cars use an air -
fuel mixture in which all the oxygen and
fuel is burned
during combustion.
This is not a big deal when the engine is running (worst possible side - effect: higher
fuel consumption), but can prevent the engine from starting as the engine reacts more sensitively to changes in
fuel -
mixture during the cranking phase.
Too much
fuel during the start and warm up, but in normal operation the
mixture is correct and it burns soot from the plugs.
This includes valves and related components required to allow the air -
fuel mixture to enter the combustion chamber, seal the combustion chamber
during compression and combustion, and evacuate exhaust gases when combustion is complete.
The expansion intake manifold uses the principle of oscillating air in the intake manifold
during the cooler expansion phase, keeping the temperature of the
fuel / air
mixture lower than in the 911 Turbo.
During cruising or other stable, low - load driving conditions, the new engine utilizes a dedicated set of cams to close one of the intake valves and retard that valve's timing, exerting backpressure on the air -
fuel mixture.
By keeping an intake valve open
during part of the compression stroke, some of the volume of unburned air /
fuel mixture in the cylinder moves back inside the intake manifold and lowers the volume being compressed, or «pumped.»
