A distributor is not used with the 2.4L engine. 4.0L The 4.0L 6-cylinder engine uses a one-piece coil rail containing three independent coils.

When one cylinder is being fired (on compression stroke), the spark to the opposite cylinder is being wasted (on exhaust stroke). The one-piece coil bolts directly to the cylinder head. Rubber boots seal the secondary terminal ends of the coils to the top of all 6 spark plugs. One electrical connector (located at the rear end of the coil rail) is used for all three coils.

Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location. OPERATION OPERATION - ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition Fig. 1 ASD and Fuel Pump Relay Terminals—Type 1 coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt + power supply. This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With certain emissions packages it also supplies 12–volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements. The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switch- ing its ground circuit on and off. The ASD relay will be shut–down, meaning the Fig. 2 ASD and Fuel Pump Relay Terminals—Type 2 12–volt power supply to the ASD relay will be de-ac- TERMINAL LEGEND tivated by the PCM if: NUMBER IDENTIFICATION ² the ignition key is left in the ON position.

  • Poppet Valve
    POPPET VALVE A poppet valve is a valve consisting of a hole, usually round or oval, and a tapered plug, usually a disk shape on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The shaft guides the plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. In most applications a pressure differential helps to seal the valve and in some applications also open it. Other types Presta and Schrader valves used on tires are examples of poppet valves. The Presta valve has no spring and relies on a pressure differential for opening and closing while being inflated. Uses Poppet valves are used in most piston engines to open and close the intake and exhaust ports. Poppet valves are also used in many industrial process from controlling the flow of rocket fuel to controlling the flow of milk[[1]]. The poppet valve was also used in a limited fashion in steam engines, particularly steam locomotives. Most steam locomotives used slide valves or piston valves, but these designs, although mechanically simpler and very rugged, were significantly less efficient than the poppet valve. A number of designs of locomotive poppet valve system were tried, the most popular being the Italian Caprotti valve gear[[2]], the British Caprotti valve gear[[3]] (an improvement of the Italian one), the German Lentz rotary-cam valve gear, and two American versions by Franklin, their oscillating-cam valve gear and rotary-cam valve gear. They were used with some success, but they were less ruggedly reliable than traditional valve gear and did not see widespread adoption. In internal combustion engine poppet valve The valve is usually a flat disk of metal with a long rod known as the valve stem out one end.

  • Overview the Ignition System Is Designed to Ignite the Compressed
    « 1: Description and Operation» Overview The Ignition System is designed to ignite the compressed air/fuel mixture in an internal combustion engine by a high voltage spark from an ignition coil. The ignition system also provides engine timing information to the powertrain control module (PCM) for proper vehicle operation and misfire detection. Integrated Electronic Ignition System The Integrated Electronic Ignition (EI) system consists of a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, coil pack(s), connecting wiring, and PCM. The Coil On Plug (COP) Integrated EI System uses a separate coil per spark plug and each coil is mounted directly onto the plug. The COP Integrated EI System eliminates the need for spark plug wires but does require input from the camshaft position (CMP) sensor. Operation of the components are as follows (Figure 49): 1. NOTE: Electronic Ignition engine timing is entirely controlled by the PCM. Electronic Ignition engine timing is NOT adjustable. Do not attempt to check base timing. You will receive false readings. The CKP sensor is used to indicate crankshaft position and speed by sensing a missing tooth on a pulse wheel mounted to the crankshaft. The CMP sensor is used by the COP Integrated EI System to identify top dead center of compression of cylinder 1 to synchronize the firing of the individual coils. 2. The PCM uses the CKP signal to calculate a spark target and then fires the coil pack(s) to that target shown in Figure 50. The PCM uses the CMP sensor not shown in Figure 50 on COP Integrated EI Systems to identify top dead center of compression of cylinder 1 to synchronize the firing of the individual coils.

  • DYNO Testing)
    TyrolSport UG Side Mount Intercooler - The new standard in upgraded Side Mount Intercoolers for 1.8T Golf/Jetta (DYNO Testing) The aftermarket for the 1.8T has been booming, as people come to realize the potential of this stout motor in a relatively light chassis. Up until now, the upgrade path for the stock intercooler has been to replace the stock Sidemount intercooler(SMIC) with a larger unit, or to scrap it altogether and go with a Front Mount unit(FMIC). It has been held as common knowledge that SMICs are inferior to FMICs in all performance applications. Regardless of turbo, horsepower, vehicle use, FMICs have trumped SMICs in popularity. Part of this due to the fact that all the big horsepower cars run FMICs. The other part seems to be that it is inconceivable to many that an SMIC can indeed perform equal to an FMIC. The goal of the TyrolSport UG SMIC was to combine the performance of an FMIC with the cost and easy packaging and installation of an SMIC. We spent the better part of a day today testing three intercoolers. The stock sidemount, The TyrolSport UG side mount(Known as the UG SMIC in the charts below), and a front mount. The aftermarket FMIC will not be named for many reasons. The TyrolSport UG SMIC mounts in the stock location, uses stock hoses, and requires minor trimming to fit. The UG SMIC uses a bar and plate Bell intercooler core. The Front Mount is a popular unit, and resides on many 1.8Ts. We will not reveal the manufacturer of the FMIC, as the purpose of this test was data acquisition; not marketing, sales, or slander.

  • Software Controlled Stepping Valve System for a Modern Car Engine
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Manufacturing 8 ( 2017 ) 525 – 532 14th Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing, GCSM 3-5 October 2016, Stellenbosch, South Africa Software Controlled Stepping Valve System for a Modern Car Engine I. Zibania, R. Marumob, J. Chumac and I. Ngebanid.* a,b,dUniversity of Botswana, P/Bag 0022, Gaborone, Botswana cBotswana International University of Science and Technology, P/Bag 16, Palapye, Botswana Abstract To address the problem of a piston-valve collision associated with poppet valve engines, we replaced the conventional poppet valve with a solenoid operated stepping valve whose motion is perpendicular to that of the piston. The valve events are software controlled, giving rise to precise intake/exhaust cycles and improved engine efficiency. Other rotary engine models like the Coates engine suffer from sealing problems and possible valve seizure resulting from excessive frictional forces between valve and seat. The proposed valve on the other hand, is located within the combustion chamber so that the cylinder pressure help seal the valve. To minimize friction, the valve clears its seat before stepping into its next position. The proposed system was successfully simulated using ALTERA’s QUARTUS II Development System. A successful prototype was built using a single piston engine. This is an ongoing project to eventually produce a 4-cylinder engine. ©© 2017 201 6Published The Authors. by Elsevier Published B.V.
