Motorists headache - air leaks

Buying a car is one thing, but caring for your equipment is a completely different matter. Motorists have plenty of headaches associated with the car. Of course, if you are the owner of an expensive foreign car, there will probably be less problems. But our auto industry can sometimes “please” so that you don’t want to drive. The most common disaster is air leaks. VAZ - a giant of domestic auto industry, is at risk.

Most often, air leaks affect the mechanisms that are involved in the supply of fuel. If your “illness” has covered your car, then soon expect trouble. First of all, the motor suffers. The unit can start in the morning, but after working for some time, do not respond to the gas pedal.

Further worse. It is possible to start the engine only with prolonged scrolling of the starter. As a result, the engine will not start at all. If such a picture is observed, external assistance is needed. It is necessary for one to spin the starter, and the other to look at the exhaust pipe and its emissions. What is this for? Everything is very simple. When scrolling through the starter, even without flashes, if fuel is supplied to the cylinders, then smoke will necessarily come from the exhaust pipe . In this situation, the main thing is to understand that the fuel is supplied.

The car is a complex engineering design. Accordingly, there can be many reasons why fuel is not supplied. However, as practice shows, most likely it is air leaks in the fuel line. The reasons for which this phenomenon is observed is darkness. Poor filter seal, malfunctioning fuel pump, worn fuel hoses and rusty fuel pipes. Basically, air leaks occur either naturally or due to inept repair work. For example, you changed the fuel filter and set the defect. Often during repair work can disrupt the fuel connection. This will immediately affect engine performance. The fact is that the fuel system is aired for any violations of the forward or reverse branches.

Types of air leaks: external, internal and damaging mechanisms of the fuel system. In fact, these are not different problems. For example, an external suction is nothing more than an additional intake of air into the intake tract. Air in this case comes from the atmosphere.

The second type (internal) is an analog of the aforementioned type with one difference - air comes from the engine cavities. But the excess air in the mechanisms arises due to the leakage of various parts.

Let's take a closer look at air leaks, the signs of which negatively affect the "heart" of the car. With any excess, the cylinder is not completely filled with the working mixture. The speed is lost and the burning time is significantly increased. Because of this, the machine loses power under load, the engine overheats, “dull” sounds appear in the carburetor, muffler. When you press the gas pedal, the car jerks. Fans of fuel economy will have a hard time.

With increased heating of the fuel, it decomposes into combustion products, before reaching the cylinders. And so, when you do not give the engine that minimum gasoline, this further aggravates the matter. A long ride with such trouble is a fatal outcome of the motor. When suctioning, insufficient fuel supply does not occur immediately. The motor is working normally, it is not clear how. How to eliminate this kind of headache? Elementary. When driving, it is necessary to cover the air screen. If the work is getting better, the reason is in the fuel or in the mechanisms of its supply. In case of failure, you need to take your "steel horse" and take him to a specialized diagnostic center.

Do not forget about car care. It is the neglect of the car - the cause of all illnesses. But air leaks - an attack that can even adversely affect the "heart" of the car. So carefully monitor the work of your “iron horse” and at the slightest suspicion, try to fix the problems in order to avoid more serious consequences.
