What is an Air Mass Sensor

WATCH HERE

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is an important element that the engine control unit depends on. When airflow enters the engine fuel injection system, the mass airflow sensor will analyze the amount of air flowing through it. It will then transmit this information to the engine control unit.

From there, the engine control unit will be able to control the amount of fuel injected into the engine. The MAF sensor makes sure the right amount of air and fuel is mixed in an engine’s internal combustion chamber.

We discussed the following:

1. Functions of air mass sensor
2. Symptoms of faulty air mass sensor
3. How to test an air mass sensor
4. Common car air mass sensor fault codes

Camshafts are a part of the top half (cylinder head) of the engine which converts the bottom half (crankshaft) of the engines rotational motion into reciprocation (linear) motion making the intake and the exhaust valves open and close in a coordinated fashion to control the engine’s combustion cycle.

Common symptoms of a failing camshaft
Loud Noises from the engine: when the camshafts’ lobes are worn out you will hear a loud tapping and ticking noise coming from the upper part of your engine. As camshaft lobes wear the valves’ clearance will increase making them noisier.

Cylinder Misfire: damaged camshafts are likely to cause cylinder misfires because the valves which are controlled by the defective lobes won’t open and close in time. This will prevent the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber from igniting properly which will lead to poor ignition. The engine will eventually lose power and run rough increasing fuel consumption. Smoke, fumes, and popping sounds are also more likely to come out from the tailpipe.

Metal Debris in the Engine Oil: as the camshaft lobes wear out, metal debris will contaminate the engine oil. You probably don’t get to see the metal when you check your engine’s oil level, but it will come out when the oil is drained through the sump pan plug.

Visible Signs of Damage: some valve covers have inspection plugs that allow you to take a glimpse of what’s happening underneath. Some camshafts are partially visible when the oil cap is removed. If you don’t find any visible signs of damage or your valve cover does not have any inspection plugs, and if the camshaft/s are not visible through the valve cover oil filler – you will have to remove the valve cover to be able to inspect.

When you have your camshafts exposed, check for scored camshaft journals, worn-out camshaft lobes, or any other signs of scratches and damage to determine what condition the camshaft and related components are in.

Engine Backfiring: worn-out camshaft lobes can cause your engine to backfire. This happens when fuel vapours ignite outside the combustion chamber (for example, in the intake manifold or the exhaust system) due to the valves failing to open or close in time to keep the air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder as it explodes.

Check Engine Light On: engine misfire, backfires, and any other timing issues will generally save an error code in your vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) as a memory fault which leads to check engine light being turned on in your instrument cluster.

Camshaft failure causes
Camshafts should last the engine’s lifespan; however, there are several factors which can lead to premature camshaft failure – poor lubrication caused by bad or contaminated oil, lack of oil due to a faulty oil pump or blocked oil passages. On rare occasions automakers may release engines with camshafts made from defective or weak materials – which will prematurely wear out and will need to be replaced. There have been some cases of engine recalls because of defective camshafts by various automakers.

Camshafts need to be re-fitted properly, this includes lubricating the camshaft’s lobes and the bottom of the lifter’s face on flat tappet cams. Some cams need just regular engine oil before being mounted to ensure proper lubrication during the first engine start-up; however other types may need a special lubricant to be applied as they are being mounted. This also applies for new cams when they are being replaced. It is important to follow the manufacturers fitting instructions when installing new camshafts and related components to avoid premature wear and other issues which may lead to camshaft failure.

Depending on the type, new camshafts may need a break-in process – an improper break-in may cause premature camshaft wear. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when installing a new camshaft.

Everything must be clean before installing the new cams – checking the oil passageways, drillings, and ducts are clear and free of any pollutant particles will ensure that no premature failure will occur.

In some extreme cases (valve crashes or cylinder head failures) camshafts can crack or break due to a hard collision with a connecting rod or other cylinder’s head components.

When is it time to change the camshaft?
Failing camshafts can lead to expensive engine damage which is why they need to be replaced immediately after failure symptoms have been identified.

Below are list of Car sensors and their functions in the car

1. Oxygen Sensors: Simply put, oxygen sensors (also known as O2 sensors) monitor the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas before and after it exits the tailpipe. These numbers are then relayed to the vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU), which adjusts the air/fuel ratios, so the engine runs optimally.

2. Mass Airflow Sensor: The mass airflow sensor (or MAF sensor) is a key part of a vehicle’s fuel injection system and measures the volume of air entering the intake. This engine sensor’s readings get sent to the ECU to determine the amount of fuel to provide the engine for optimal combustion.

3. Engine Oil Level Sensor: Running out of motor oil can lead to extremely costly problems, like a blown head gasket or a seized engine. Thankfully, most modern cars have an engine oil level sensor to alert the driver via a dashboard warning when levels fall low.

4. Engine Oil Pressure Sensor: Most engines also feature an oil pressure sensor that alerts the ECU to display a dash warning light when the pressure goes outside the optimal range. Should pressure drop too far, parts of the engine may not receive enough oil, increasing the odds of harmful metal-on-metal contact.

5. Coolant Temperature Sensor: As its name implies, a coolant temperature sensor (CTS) keeps track of the temperature of the coolant/antifreeze mixture in the engine’s cooling system. A faulty CTS may send incorrect signals to the ECU, potentially causing the motor to overheat.

What Are the Functions of a Car Sensor?

Automotive car sensors are essential components of modern cars as they provide crucial information to the vehicle's control systems. These sensors measure and monitor various aspects of the car's performance, including speed, temperature, pressure, and other critical parameters.

The primary function of car sensors is to collect data and send them to the Electronic Control System (ECS). The ECS consists of algorithms which assist them in taking specific action in given scenario.

These automotive sensors and ECS convert the physical and chemical change variables to electric signals, thus relaying a message to the driver to take further action.

Another essential function of sensors is to improve fuel efficiency. Sensors like the oxygen sensor, fuel pressure sensor, and mass air-flow sensor work together to optimize the car's fuel delivery system, ensuring that the engine runs efficiently. By monitoring the fuel-air mixture, the sensors can adjust the fuel flow to maximize combustion efficiency, thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Sensors play a crucial role in enhancing the car's performance, safety, and efficiency.

Another primary function of sensors is to improve safety. For instance, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses wheel sensors to monitor the speed of each wheel. If a wheel stops rotating while the car is still moving, the ABS will reduce brake pressure to prevent skidding and ensure the driver maintains control of the car. Similarly, the airbag system uses sensors to detect sudden changes in the car's speed, deploying the airbag to protect the occupants in case of a collision.

Very rarely there are issues found on a crankshaft, only in the case when the engine experiences any of the following extreme conditions. The component of engines are quite reliable and sturdy but some common fault mentioned below can cause failure:

1. Worn journals
Worn journals is caused due to insufficient oil pressure. The crankshaft journals comes in direct contact with the bearing surfaces which gradually increases the clearance and decreases the oil pressure. Worn journals can cause very serious problem to the engine if not taken care of. It can also lead to destroying the bearing and can cause huge damage to the engine.

2. Fatigue
Fatigue refers to as the constant forces on the crankshaft which lead to the fractures. This problem usually occurs on the fillets where the journals and the web are joined together. The cracks which develop can be inspected on crankshaft with the use of a magna fluxing. The majority of steel crankshaft failure occurs due to fatigue failure that can originate at the change of cross-section.

3. Failure due to Vibration
Whenever the engine is running with heavy vibration during torsional vibration, it can lead to a crack in the crankpin and journal.

4. In adequate amount of lubrication
In case the lubrication of bearing in the crankshaft is in adequate then it can lead to complete wiping out of the bearing and failure of the crankshaft.

5. Over Pressurized Cylinde[/b]r
It is possible that there is a hydraulic lock inside the liner caused due to extreme pressure at the crankshaft or even bent.

[b]Reasons for Crankshaft Misalignment

1. Damage or wipe-out of the main bearing
2. Loose engine foundation bolt leading to vibration
3. Deformation of ship’s hull
4. Crack in the bearing saddle
5. Loose main bearing bolt leading to damage of main bearing
6. The high bending moment is applied on the crankshaft due to the excessive force from the assembly of the piston.
7. Grounding of the ship
8. Crankcase explosion or fire
9. A defective or worn out stern tube or intermediate shaft bearings
10. Loose or broken chokes in the foundation
11. Bearing pockets cracked
12. Bedplate deformed – transverse girder damaged
13. Tie bolts slack or broken
14. Weakening of structure due to corrosion

There are two types of crankshaft produced, which are commonly known as cast and forged. The counterweights can also be forged directly into the crankshaft or can be bolted-on with the threaded bolts. All the pistons of the internal combustion engine transmit their load at the crankshaft. The crankshaft has to undergo high torsional forces, bending forces, pressures, and vibrations. Let’s study more about the types of crankshaft:

Cast Crankshaft:

This refers to the types of crankshaft that are commonly found for a long time and are mostly in diesel and petrol engines. The name clearly suggests that it's made from the malleable iron through a casting process. They are quite economical in working and therefore are commonly selected by the manufacturers.

A flat plane crank is the one wherein the journals are kept 180 degrees apart from all in-line four engines. Whereas when it comes to a cross-plane crank, they need a mold of multiple parts because the journals and counterweights are not that symmetrical. The cast cranks are hardened through the flame in order to improve the wear resistance in particular areas.

Forged Crankshaft:

These are comparatively more robust crankshaft that are more commonly found, especially higher stressed engines, which comes standard with some 16v engine. Creating a forged crank is totally different. There are different sets of dies that are machined together to the approximate shape of the crank.

These dies are set in a very large hydraulic press, which has a clamping force of many tons. A hot bar of very high-grade steel alloy is placed at the bottom die, and then the dies are closed. Once the dies are closed, the metal gets squeezed very tightly, after which the material is compacted and aligned for a better casting process. These types of cranks are also hardened like the cast cracks but using induction hardening.

Billet Crankshaft:

Billet crankshaft is one of the best types of crank which one can have in the engine, which is normally used to manufacture this kind of crank. This usually contains materials like nickel, chromium, aluminum, and molybdenum, amongst other elements. These cranks are most common due to the lowest crankshaft machining time. Also, these require minimal balancing due to the uniform makeup of the material.

Forged Crankshaft:

These are comparatively more robust crankshaft that are more commonly found, especially higher stressed engines, which comes standard with some 16v engine. Creating a forged crank is totally different. There are different sets of dies that are machined together to the approximate shape of the crank.

These dies are set in a very large hydraulic press, which has a clamping force of many tons. A hot bar of very high-grade steel alloy is placed at the bottom die, and then the dies are closed. Once the dies are closed, the metal gets squeezed very tightly, after which the material is compacted and aligned for a better casting process. These types of cranks are also hardened like the cast cracks but using induction hardening.

Billet Crankshaft:

Billet crankshaft is one of the best types of crank which one can have in the engine, which is normally used to manufacture this kind of crank. This usually contains materials like nickel, chromium, aluminum, and molybdenum, amongst other elements. These cranks are most common due to the lowest crankshaft machining time. Also, these require minimal balancing due to the uniform makeup of the material.

What is Crankshaft?

A crankshaft refers to a rotating shaft which is used for converting the reciprocating motion of a piston into a rotational motion. These shafts are commonly used in the internal combustion engines to with an aim to perform such operations.

Function of Crankshaft

1. There are endless functions that give a smoother drive to the motors with multiple cylinders.
2. Converting the linear motion of the piston into the rotational motion is also one of its functions.
3. The power is produced through the combustion of the fuel-air mixture.
4. The shaft of the crankshaft is bored with some holes which feeds the motor with the required quantity of oil. This oil is mainly used to smoothen the movements.
5. Crankshafts also functions as load bearing as the load gets distributed during this process.
6. One of the load is the severe bending and the torsional stress wherein the pistons are connected to the crankshaft through the connecting rod.
7. It must be noted that the rotary movement of the crankshaft accelerates and decelerates constantly where the further loads of torsional vibration is added.

The crankshaft is mounted inside the engine block with the following parts, which are as follows:

a. Pistons
b. Connecting rods
c. Flywheel
e. Crankshaft

The secondary function of a crankshaft is to transmit the power of other systems of the engine:

a. Valve timing
b. Oil pump
c. Cooling (water) pump
e. compressor of air conditioner
f. An Alternator

Fitting The Crankshaft

The crankshaft is set into the engine block through the main journal. The connecting rods are fixed to the journals of the crankshaft. Whereas on the opposite side of the conrod journals, the crankshaft has counterweights that are used to compensate for the outer moments, to minimize the internal moments, and thus reduce the vibration amplitudes and the bearing stresses.

One end of the crankshaft is connected to the flywheel, and the other end to the valve timing gearing. The number of main journals and conrod journals depends upon the number of cylinders and the types of the engine like V-type, straight etc.

Both the main journal as well as the conrod journal has lubricated crankshaft orifices or oil bore through which the oil flows whenever the engine runs. The exact place of fitting a crankshaft is on the main journals, between the crankshaft and the engine block. Their main role is to reduce the impact of friction through a layer of anti-friction material which comes in direct contact with the block mounts of the engine.

A clutch is a metal disc with friction material bonded to it, much like brake pads. When a clutch has no pressure against it, it freewheels. But when pressure is applied to a clutch, it engages against another part, so they rotate at the same speed.

While you might find clutches in other places, they’re always found in a transmission. A manual transmission clutch, it is positioned between the engine’s crankshaft and the transmission housing on an input shaft, inside the bell housing. In an automatic transmission, a series of clutches are located inside the transaxle assembly.

Although they last a long time under normal usage, clutches are wearable components and may eventually need to be replaced. Luckily, you can get a new clutch kit and all your other clutch parts delivered right to your door from KamsiParts Automotive Limited.

What’s the difference between manual and automatic transmission?

There are a few major differences between a manual and automatic transmission:

1. There’s only one large clutch disc in a manual transmission where automatics have a series of smaller clutches.

2. The clutch disc remains dry in a manual system where the clutches are oil-bathed in an automatic.

3. A clutch pedal engages the clutch disc on a manual while the torque converter on an automatic transmission is what causes the clutches to engage.

4. Clutches in an automatic are serviced during a rebuild.

5. Clutch in a manual transmission is replaced as a maintenance item

The function of shock absorbers is to make sure the tires of your vehicle stay on the ground consistently. They do this by managing how the suspension and springs move.

This allows your tires to always be making contact with the road whether driving straight, cornering, going over hills, or driving on a bumpy road. All the vibrations and shakiness from driving on such a road get absorbed by a vehicle’s springs and shock absorbers, hence the name.

SIGNS OF A BAD ABSORBER

1 – Knocking Noise: When going over various bumps, speed bumps, or potholes and your hear a knocking sound, it likely means you have worn shock absorbers. The noise may be the meal coil springs actually hitting your car’s chassis.

2 – Vibrations: The shock absorber has valves and piston seals inside of it. If either one of them gets too worn, the flow of fluid won’t be controlled, and it will move through the piston seal and/or valve.

Once that happens, the steering wheel will vibrate each time you drive over a bump, regardless of how big or small it is.

3 – Fluid Leak: The shock absorber’s body has seals to protect it from leaking. After a while, these seals will start to leak fluid along the side of the shock absorber’s body until it falls on the ground.

4 – Swerving: If you step on the brake pedal while turning, you may experience swerving or nose diving. When the shock absorber is faulty, the weight of your car will move in the opposite direction while you’re turning.

5 – Brakes React Slowly: If you step on the brake pedal and your car takes a while to slow down and stop, then there’s a possibility your shock absorber might be faulty.
6 – Uneven Tire Wear: Since a bad shock absorber will cause your tires to be unevenly placed on the road, your car will begin to bounce as you drive on it.

Only certain areas of your tire will actually be touching the road, which will result in these areas becoming more worn than the areas which are not touching the road. Therefore, you will have uneven tire wear, whether it be on the inside or outside.

This is why we suggest PRT SHOCK ABSORBER to you, with PRT SHOCK ABSORBER, you are guaranteed of getting Increased Safety, Improved Handling and Longer Lasting

WHY ARE EFFICIENT SHOCK ABSORBERS SO IMPORTANT?

Shock absorbers used in cars are very important for active safety, that is, the prevention of accidents. They are responsible for stabilizing the car while driving and ensuring constant pressure on the road. It is thanks to efficient shock absorbers that the car remains stable when driving over a transverse bump, and the wheel does not jump when hitting a pothole.

It’s also important to maintain constant contact between the wheels and the road, as the tyres are the only points of contact between the car and the road. So, if one of the wheels were to detach from the tarmac or start bouncing on it, the car would lose a quarter of its contact patch. If this happened in a bend, you could lose control of the vehicle. Add to this the fact that poorly cushioned unsprung masses produce large vibrations that are clearly felt in the passenger compartment.

An equally dangerous phenomenon is how a worn out car suspension behaves after a skid. A car with good shock absorbers remains stiff and can be pulled out of a skid. There is a reason why cars used for drifting have lowered and hardened suspension. So how will a car with heavily worn shocks behave? Unfortunately, such a vehicle has a distinct tendency to roll. Unconstrained by shock absorbers, the suspension springs act like a catapult, resulting in the car rolling. A similar phenomenon can occur after a dynamic change of direction.

REPLACING CAR SHOCK ABSORBERS

If you have mechanical skills, you can undertake the shock absorber replacement yourself. We recommend, however, a visit to the garage, because during the work additional problems may also come to light in the form of seized or corroded screws. A qualified mechanic will also check the condition of the other suspension components and prevent further problems. It is important that a good car service uses high-quality tools that do not damage the mounting bolts and that’s why we recommend that you only use quality car parts when replacing your worn out parts and we recommend PRT SHOCK ABSORBERS.

A particularly dangerous moment when replacing shock absorbers is extracting the worn parts from the suspension springs. This requires the use of spring clamps, and improper handling of the tools risks shooting out the springs and locking nuts. An additional argument encouraging to have the shock absorbers replaced by the service is the fact that after such a procedure it is always necessary to correct the suspension geometry.
