CURING RUNNING ON
Running-on is when the engine continues to turn after you've switched off the ignition because the fuel /air mixture is being ignited by a hot-spot in the combustion chamber . Furthermore, because the mixture is often firing at the wrong point in the cycle , the engine does not run smoothly but jerks and rocks badly on its mountings (and sometimes backfires ). The problem can be so bad that TESTING A DYNAMO AND CHECKING OUTPUT The dynamo is a robust and simple type of generator which was fitted to many earlier cars. Most modern cars are fitted with an alternator. If you suspect a fault in the dynamo, check all the connections to it with a circuit tester. Check also that the dynamo actually turns when the engine is running, and that the drive belt is adjusted to its correct tension, and is not slipping (See Checking CHECKING AND CLEANING AN SU CARBURETTOR The SU carburettor is simple to strip. It has only one jet (except in a few special types) and very few moving parts. It is very reliable, but it can become dirty and choked β and some parts wear out.

The engine is the heart of your car. It is a complex machine built to convert heat from burning gas into the force that turns the roadwheels.
TESTING A DYNAMO AND CHECKING OUTPUT The dynamo is a robust and simple type of generator which was fitted to many earlier cars. Most modern cars are fitted with an alternator. If you suspect a fault in the dynamo, check all the connections to it with a circuit tester. Check also that the dynamo actually turns when the engine is running, and that the drive belt is adjusted to its correct tension, and is not slipping (See Checking HOW TO LUBRICATE THE STEERING SYSTEM But even new cars may have grease nipples and/or oil-filler holes in various parts of the system. Their position depends on the steering system - rack and pinion or steering box - and the front suspension type - wishbone or MacPherson strut. The car handbook will tell you where to lubricate and how often usually every 6,000 miles or 10,000 km - and the type and amount of lubricant to use. DIAGNOSING FAULTS IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Automatic transmission fluid. First check the fluid level. A need for frequent topping up shows that there is a leak somewhere in the transmission which should be traced and put right as soon as possible. Try standing the car over some newspaper laid out on the ground . Start the engine and operate the transmission lever a couple of times. HOW TO TEST ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS A circuit tester is a useful and inexpensive tool for making electrical tests. Checking a simple circuit is straightforward - the lighting circuits are among the simpler ones - but the electrical wiring in a car contains many interlinking and branching circuits, which bring complications. ADJUSTING AN SU CARBURETTOR Unlike other types of carburettor, which have fixed jets , the SU has only one jet, so the mixture setting affects the engine throughout its speed range. Some SUs also have exhaust emission-control devices to comply with anti-pollution laws. Adjustment of these is described in Adjusting an emission-control carburettor. Before tuning the carburettor, carry out all the checks in Checking and TESTING AN ALTERNATOR AND CHECKING OUTPUT Alternators have replaced dynamos as generators on modern cars; they can produce more current. Any short or open circuit or wrong connection can cause a sudden surge of voltage that will damage electronic parts. Never make or break any connection while the engine is running. Checking alternator output using an ammeter in series with the charging system should be done only by an auto-electrician. CHECKING FOR COOLANT LEAKS A rising temperature gauge, a pool of coolant beneath the car and a drop in the radiator level are signs of a leak. So are rust-coloured stains in the engine bay. But if you cannot actually see the leak, a systematic check is called for. Always work when the engine is hot, and pressure in the cooling system has built up - forcing out coolantat any weak spot.
CHECKING AND REPLACING A FUEL SENDER UNIT If the fuel gauge reads empty when you know there is fuel in the tank, the cause may be a faulty sender unit the electrical device that measures the level. Or it may be a faulty gauge or a break in the wiring between the gauge and sender. It is also possible for the fuel tank to read 'full' constantly, although the car has travelled some distance and has obviously used an amount of petrol. HOW TO OVERHAUL A STROMBERG CARBURETTOR The Stromberg carburettor does not have a regular service schedule, but should be cleaned about once a year. Replace worn parts as necessary. Dirt which has penetrated the fuel filter, and residues from chemicals in petrol build up inside.Needles and jets wear out after a few years' use. The rubber diaphragm may become holed - and even a tiny hole causes loss of engine power. SIGN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT How a Car Works is created, written by, and maintained by Alex Muir.

HOW A DIESEL ENGINE WORKS0 illustrations
Traditionally, diesel engines have always been seen as noisy, smelly and underpowered engines of little use other than in trucks, taxis and vans. But as diesel engines and their injection system controls have become more refined, the 1980s have seen that situation change. In the UK in 1985 there were almost 65,000 diesel cars sold (about 3.5 per cent of the total number of cars sold), compared with only 5380 in1980. Read more
