Trouble shooting of Cooling System

  • Check the coolant level in your vehicle if it is overheating. If there is insufficient coolant in the vehicle, overheating will occur while driving. Add the appropriate amount of coolant to the coolant reservoir.
  • Inspect your vehicle's thermostat to determine if it is stuck. If your thermostat is stuck, your vehicle will overheat almost immediately after driving a short distance. Another way to check the thermostat is to start the car, open the hood and feel the radiator hose. If the lower part of the radiator hose is hot and the upper part is cool, the thermostat is stuck. 
  • Look at your fan belt to determine if it is broken or loose. Tighten the connections for the fan belt or replace it if necessary.
  • Determine if the cooling system is clogged. Drain and flush the coolant from the cooling system to unclog it. Check the water pump to see if it is faulty and replace it if necessary

IGNITION SYSTEMS

Ignition system is a system in an internal combustion engine that produces the spark to ignite the mixture of fuel and air.  It includes the battery, ignition coil, distributor, spark plugs, and associated switches and wiring.  It is a part of the electrical system which carries the electrical current to a current plug.  It gives the spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture at the correct time Ignition Function:   It produces 30,000 volt spark across spark plug  It Distributes high voltage spark to each spark plug in correct sequence  Time of the spark occurs when piston is near to top dead center  Spark timing varies with load, speed, and other conditions Basic Ignition System: The components in ignition system are as follow:  Battery,  Switch ignition distributor  Ignition coil  Spark plugs and  Necessary wiring Ignition System types: A battery of 12 volts is generally employed. However, a very high voltage surge (of...

LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The moving parts of an I.C engine are likely to wear off due to continuous rubbing action of one part with another. In order to avoid an early wearing of the engine parts, a proper lubrication arrangement is provided in I.C. engines. Lubrication is an art of admitting a lubricant (oil, grease, etc.) between two surfaces that are in contact and in relative motion The main parts of an automotive engine require lubrication are: Main crankshaft bearings Big end bearings Gudgeon pin bearings  Piston rings and cylinder walls Camshaft and camshaft bearings Timing Gears Valve mechanism  Purpose of Lubrication: It reduces wear and tear of the moving parts. It damps down the vibrations of the engine. It dissipates the heat generated from the moving parts due to friction. It cleans the moving parts. It makes the piston gas-tight. Properties of Lubricant: Suitable viscosity Should not react with lubricating surfaces No tendency to form deposits by reacting with air, water, fue...

FUEL FILTERS & Types of Fuel Filters

       A fuel filter is a filter in the fuel line that screens out dirt and rust particles from the fuel, normally made into cartridges containing a filter paper. Primary Filter : In most designs, the primary filter is located between the fuel tank and the fuel supply pump.  A primary filter contains a coarse filter material that removes the larger foreign matter.  They are metal filters and only allow fine particles to pass through them.  Solid materials larger than 10 to 50 microns remain outside the metal disks, while the larger foreign matter and most of the water settle to the bottom of the bowl. This matter can be removed through a drain plug.  A ball relief valve in the filter cover enables the fuel to bypass the filter element if the disks become clogged.  Most types of heavy equipment have a fuel pressure gauge that indicates when the filters are dirty. Secondary filter : The secondary filter is usually located betw...
