2.1 Engine maintence

2.2.1 Introduction
In this chapter an attempt has been made to explain maintenance of auto motive engine .as we
know engine is the heart of car(auto motors).so that mantling engine mean malting the car as
whole.

In some case engine maintence consists checking car engine by inspection or the out opening the
main part of engine but basically there are two kind of engine maintence.

*major part of engine maintence

*minor part of engine maintence

In generally engine maintence vital to keep your car or truck operating at peak performing one at
also in part longer-term of vehicle engine.

2.2.2 Problem faced engine

 missing or loose gas gap
 worn spark plug
 clogged radiator
 coolant loss
 poor compressor
 faulty or broken oxygen sensor
 spark kivock
 dirty oil
 oil pump failure
 poor lubrication
 bad air/fuel mixture
 cracked engine block
 pistons, rings and cylinder
2.2.3 The task carried out in engine maintence room

Checking engine light

The could man a costly problem like a bad catalysist converter or it could be some minor
like a loose gas cap

Diesel

Although diesel engines don’t tune –ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines
they do require regular maintence typical maintence task include

 changing the oil and filter

 changing the air filter
 changing the fuel filter
 bleeding the fuel system

Fuel indicator

fuel injection is system for adminitting fuel in to an engine .1990 fuel injection are
completely replace by carburetor as the primary means of gasoline in to the engine .a fuel
injector atomize the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high
pressure).the failure of the fuel in section system man’s poor performance and ultimate
destroys the engine.

Spark plugs

A spark plug delivers electric current to combustion comber from the injection system
spark plugs that haven’t been charged for long time can cause ignition problem at anbasa
repair service they have automotive expert who will crack and replace spark plugs.
 Oil, lube and filter

To keep running smoothly your car highly relies on oil lube and oil filter oil help in lob
ration, cooling and cleaning the internal engine components with time, automotive oil
become contaminated so it must be change in 10 km.

Ignition wires and cables

Ignition cable also known as spark plug wires an important port of your car’s ignition
system. They transfer the spark from the ignition coil to spark plugs that ignite the
mixture of fuel and air the mixture start the engine over time ignition wire and cables to
reach the engine cylinder this make it impossible for spark to reach the engine cylinders
this results in the engine mis firing thr car will eventually fail to start.

2.2.4 General importance of vechile maintence

As vehicle owner it is vitally important that you carrying out regular maintence on your
vehicle likely to be prove to more serious problems in the future that could lead to you
being greatly out of pocket .car maintence is not difficult task for most differs even
drivers limited vehicle knowledge able to perform maintence task such as checking your
type pressures charging oil, and checking other engine fluids in your vehicle .if some of
these maintence task make you a bit uneasy than you can check the vehicle hand book
that comes with every vehicle for advice or even ask someone with a bit more knowledge
for assistance but it crucial in one way or another you are carrying out regular maintence

parts that constantly move when never your engine is running. Because these metals parts rub
against each other they require sufficent lubrication to keep the parts from heating ecessively and
to make sure everting works optimally.this essentially underscores the importance of changing
