Engine Misfire Failures

misfire failure

Engine misfire diagnosis is not very different from your way diagnose all the cars, it's up to you so you know what to look for. Most important thing you need when diagnose your car or other car is correct information. When a customer brought their new car to you business, the person who controls them they must be able to ask the right questions ask about symptoms, etc give the technician a place to start diagnosis.

The ignition system is responsible for igniting the fuel in the engine's combustion chamber. If the system is not working properly, the engine is damaged in one or more cylinders. Usually only one cylinder is affected, but this is not always the case. Additionally, you may have misfires and not know it because ignition system components wear out slowly and a mild misfire may go unnoticed (although a Check Engine light may come on if it's trivial).

Possible Misfire Reasons :

Backfiring

A misfire occurs when one of the cylinders fails or does not start at all. This can lead to noises such as coughing, shuddering and shaking when the car is idling at a stop sign or at a light. These are clear signs of a failed ignition coil. Other causes may be problems with the fuel supply system and spark plugs. Misfires can occur at any time, but usually when the engine is under increased load, such as acceleration. Even if the car doesn't explode, it will cause more emissions and destroy other parts like the catalytic converter. This can damage the sensors and change the fuel/air mixture, causing other problems such as the car slowing down instead of accelerating.

Poor fuel consumption

If you have the car for a while, you can find out its average fuel consumption. If you notice less mileage with the same amount of fuel, you may be dealing with a bad ignition coil. If the spark plugs don't get enough power, the system compensates by injecting more fuel. Another reason for low fuel economy is that when the ignition coil fails, the O2 sensor makes an incorrect reading and the system sends more fuel than necessary.Bad fuel injectors can also cause fuel leaks.

Check engine light

If your car's check engine light comes on suddenly, it could be a sign that there is a problem with the ignition coil. An easy way to find out what is wrong is to take the car to a mechanic for an inspection. If the ignition coil isn't working properly, it can overheat, cause the coil wire housing to crack, and cause oil to leak. There may also be a larger hole in the spark plugs due to erosion. This causes the ignition coil to run at a higher voltage and because the ignition works harder, it overheats easily.
