The reasons for a diesel engine emitting black smoke with a chugging sound: 1. Insufficient compression force; 2. Changes in combustion chamber shape and volume; 3. Poor injector performance; 4. Excessive fuel supply; 5. Incorrect fuel injection timing; 6. Excessive intake and exhaust resistance; 7. Incorrect valve clearance adjustment; 8. Changes in engine valve timing; 9. Poor fuel injection pump performance; 10. Poor diesel quality, where performance indicators fail to meet requirements, leading to poor combustion. The advantages of diesel engines include high power and good economic performance. The working process of a diesel engine shares many similarities with that of a gasoline engine, with each working cycle also going through the four strokes of intake, compression, power, and exhaust.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise When the Car Stalls?

When the three-way catalytic converter stops working, the temperature will drop, causing thermal expansion and contraction of its internal metal components, which then produces abnormal noise. This noise cannot be eliminated. If the screws at the interface of the three-way catalytic converter are loose, simply tighten them. If the carbon canister solenoid valve is damaged, replace it with a new one.
