Cylinder pressure testing steps: 1. Install the cylinder pressure gauge on the engine; 2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature, maintaining coolant temperature between 85 to 95 degrees; 3. Remove all spark plugs or injectors from the vehicle and ground the high-voltage wires; 4. Press the accelerator to fully open the throttle; 5. Screw the threaded adapter into the spark plug hole, or press the tapered rubber adapter of the cylinder pressure gauge firmly into the spark plug hole of the cylinder being tested; 6. Operate the starter for about two seconds, read the pressure value once the pointer stabilizes, then press the one-way valve button to release pressure and reset the pointer. Note: Each cylinder should be measured at least twice, taking the average value as the result. Additionally, during the second measurement, inject a small amount of engine oil (20-30ml) into the spark plug hole before retesting the cylinder pressure.

Are Ferraris Manual or Automatic?

Ferrari's supercars are all automatic. Older Ferrari models used AMT transmissions. After the widespread adoption of dual-clutch transmissions, Ferrari switched to using dual-clutch transmissions. AMT is an old-style automatic transmission that is structurally similar to a manual transmission, but with an added control mechanism based on the manual transmission. The reason AMT transmissions were used in supercars is that they can withstand higher torque. However, AMT transmissions have slower shift speeds and significant jerking during gear changes, which is why they were phased out after the advent of dual-clutch transmissions.

Can a broken starter be repaired?

Starters can be repaired. As long as the engine failure is not catastrophic or the shape is completely deformed, it can be repaired. Common vulnerable parts of starters: 1. Starter copper sleeve: The typical symptom after aging is strong starting power when cold but weak when hot. 2. Starter carbon brushes: The fault manifests as intermittent starting issues, failure to engage, or weak operation. Disassemble to check brush length and whether they are stuck. Additional information: Starters are valuable components in vehicles and rarely fail, but proper usage methods are essential to extend their lifespan. During engine startup, the starter draws 300~400Ah of electricity from the battery. To prevent battery overcurrent or damage, the starting duration should not exceed 5 seconds.
