2007 Mercedes High Torque DiesOtto Engine
The performance of a gasoline engine, the high torque and fuel economy of a state-of-the-art diesel together with extremely clean emissions: Mercedes-Benz has combined all the advantages of both engine types in its DiesOtto powertrain. The new technology package, which stands for the future of the gasoline engine, includes features such as direct gasoline injection, turbocharging and a variable compression. At the core of this innovation lies the controlled auto ignition, a highly efficient combustion process similar to that of a diesel. By way of another advantage, and in contrast to comparable developments, the Mercedes system requires no synthetic fuels but can be operated using conventional gasoline.

Engine Owner’s Manual for LS Series Auto Conversions
Engine Mount
Engine mount is constructed of 4130 aircraft quality steel tubing and is powder coated for corrosion protection. Engine mount vibration isolators are made of aluminum cups capturing a rubber isolator. There are a total of eight (8) rubber isolators required. Replacement of rubber isolators can be obtained at your local auto parts store. Just ask for front motor Read more
Turn off your Check Engine light
So your Check Engine light is on, staring at you every day. You know there must be something wrong, but you don’t want to pay to have the problem diagnosed. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. With a simple code-reader tool, you can find out what’s wrong and turn the light off. When the Check Engine light is on, it means one or more trouble codes are stored in your vehicle’s computer. Trouble codes tell you that a problem was identified in the engine- management system. Reading the stored trouble codes is the first step in diagnosing the problem.
Code readers are inexpensive and simple to use

Manifold of V6 PFI gasoline engine
The main purpose of this work was to improve the WAVE model of the V6 3.2l engine, scheduled for installation in the GTA version of the popular Alfa Romeo 156 vehicle. Moreover, this work was also part of a comparative study between two intake manifolds differing in shape and volume. Whilst the performance of an engine is typically investigated using the 1D engine cycle simulation program WAVE alone, for this application the authors believe that only the use of the 3D CFD code VECTIS coupled with WAVE can accurately capture how the manifold influences the behaviour of the engine.

1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse Engine Overhaul Procedure
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is stamped on a metal plate located at upper left corner of instrument panel, near windshield. The eighth character of VIN identifies engine and tenth character (M) identifies model year (1991). Engine model code and serial number are stamped on right side of cylinder block, near front. For specific location, see the A – ENGINE/VIN ID article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

Combined WAVE-VECTIS simulation of an intake manifold of V6 PFI gasoline engine
This paper describes the analysis of the flow in the intake manifold of a V6 gasoline engine performed using WAVE 1D engine cycle simulation program alone first, and then using WAVE coupled with 3D CFD VECTIS. The work shows how modeling in 3D selected components of the inlet manifold embedded within the 1D flow network leads to improvements in prediction accuracy.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp/Check Engine Light
If this indicator comes on while driving, there is a problem with your engine or its emission control systems. Even though you may feel no difference in your car’s performance, it can reduce your fuel economy and cause your car to put out excessive emissions. Continued operation may cause serious engine damage.

1999 Protege 1.6L Rattling Noise From Engine
APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
All 1999 Protege (1.6L) with VINs lower than JM1 BJ222* X0 140057.
All 1999 – 2000 Miata with (1.8L) VINs lower than JM1 NB353* Y0 155947.
DESCRIPTION A rattling noise may be heard from the engine when depressing the clutch or when revving the engine in neutral. In extreme cases, customers may experience noise at all times. This concern can be caused by improperly machined number 4 main cap of cylinder blocks which may result in premature wear of the thrust bearing. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following procedure.

1982 Mercedes Benz 240D (123 Chassis) Engine Oil Pan Service
Removal 1 Drain engine oil. 2 Lift engine hood to 90°position and lock left-hand latch (arrow). 3 On engine 617, remove adapter at air cleaner (arrow). On models with oil bath air cleaners, release and remove rubber gaiter from throttle body. 4 If model features uprated engine, also remove longitudinal control spindle. Unhook control rods for this purpose. Withdraw retainer (arrow) and force longitudinal control spindle in aft direction. 5 Unscrew clip attaching oil dipstick guide tube to power steering pump bracket and crankcase. 6 On models with power steering, Read more
