Cars have a number of features that many car owners don’t even know exist. However, it is useful to know about it, because in this way you can make your life much easier and solve quite difficult problems with ease. How, tells the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
For example, we already wrote about the secrets of the daily mileage reset button. Using this simple button, they diagnose the car without using an expensive scanner and also calculate the actual fuel consumption. But these are not all the secrets of the car.
A typical situation: the driver hurriedly tries several times to start the engine, but he does not want to “come to life”. The main danger of such actions is filling the spark plugs with fuel. They solve the problem in a rather complicated way. You need to open the cover, remove the wires and unscrew these candles. After drying, reassemble everything in reverse order. If this happened on the way, the procedure will take a long time. And if there is not even a candle key in the trunk, then you can “cook” in the parking lot indefinitely.
Car manufacturers foresaw this situation and created a mode that allows you to flush the cylinders without partially dismantling the unit. It is available on engines with both carburetor and injection systems.
For example, Volkswagen Passat B3 or Opel Astra. But on some cars from Japan this is not the case. Therefore, read the instructions carefully first, especially since different devices have their own venting systems: slotted, slotted valves, contour and direct flow. The operating principle is the same for everyone. The differences are only in the details.
To activate the mode, insert the key into the ignition, fully depress the throttle and move the key to the start position. We turn the starter for 7-10 seconds. When the right pedal is fully depressed, the engine control unit switches to cylinder purge mode so that no fuel is supplied through the injectors. The incoming air dries out the candles. Then you can carefully try to start the engine.
However, you should not forget to charge the battery, because rinsing takes a lot of energy. The battery can also “sit”. In addition, the engine will not “wake up” if the canister vent valve is faulty or if there is air leakage through the gasoline vapor recovery system hose connections. So first inspect the car and only then try the “life hack” of car engineers.
