For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

Knock sensors are devices used in internal combustion engines to detect engine knock or detonation. The knock sensor detects vibrations and sends a signal to the engine control module (ECM), to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A pre-chamber ignition system has the potential to reduce the burn duration of lean-burn gasoline engine combustion and can achieve a reduced ...

I recently got asked about what "pinging" is, and what the difference is between pre-ignition and detonation, what causes it, and why it is bad for an engine. Basically, both pre-ignition and ...

Low-Speed Pre-ignition is an unplanned and unpredictable premature combustion of the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber, which occurs especially at low speeds, high load, and at the beginning ...
