The difference between the M20A and M20C engines lies in their peak torque: the M20A engine has a peak torque of 203 Nm, while the M20C engine has a peak torque of 207 Nm. Both the M20A and M20C engines have the same maximum power output of 126 kW. An engine is a device that provides power for a vehicle by converting the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy through the combustion and expansion of gases in a sealed cylinder, which then pushes the piston to perform work. Its components include: 1. Valve train; 2. Crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism; 3. Ignition system; 4. Cooling system; 5. Lubrication system; 6. Starting system; 7. Fuel supply system.

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in the Envision?

The engine warning light may illuminate during power-on self-test or under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indicator that monitors the status of all vehicle sensors before driving. Generally, if the engine is not started after power-on, the light will turn off automatically after about 3 seconds. In other cases, if the EPC indicator light remains on after the vehicle is started, the main causes for the EPC light staying illuminated include faults in the engine intake system, throttle body, fuel system, engine itself, ECU control unit, or brake light. Below is a detailed explanation of each potential fault: Sensor Issues: Sensors include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen levels, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which triggers the engine warning light. Solution: If such issues arise, promptly visit a repair center for professional diagnosis and resolution to eliminate safety hazards. Maintenance Issues: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine warning light illuminating. Vehicles have specific maintenance cycles. If maintenance is not performed on schedule, combined with poor driving habits, the engine's operational burden increases, eventually causing the warning light to activate. Solution: Follow the maintenance schedule outlined in your vehicle's manual, ensuring timely and comprehensive maintenance to prevent non-maintenance-related issues. Fuel Quality Issues: This refers to both fuel and engine oil. Vehicles require specific fuel grades, and engine oil can be semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Manufacturers typically recommend the appropriate fuel grade and oil type. If these recommendations are not followed over time, engine wear may occur, triggering the warning light. Solution: Always use the recommended fuel grade and engine oil type for your vehicle. Poor Combustion of Air-Fuel Mixture: Faults in spark plugs, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can lead to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This results in engine carbon buildup or knocking, which the oxygen sensors detect and report to the ECU, triggering the warning light. Solution: Inspect the engine ignition coils and spark plugs. Check the performance of related sensors, such as oxygen sensors (front and rear), coolant temperature sensor, intake air temperature sensor, throttle position sensor, air flow meter, and intake manifold pressure sensor. Examine the air filter for contamination—if clogged, it can cause an overly rich mixture, requiring cleaning or replacement. Also, check for fuel injector leaks and the performance of the fuel pressure regulator, as malfunctions can lead to an overly rich mixture. Intake Issues: Engine combustion requires proper air intake, making the air filter crucial. If the air filter is dirty or not cleaned regularly, it can obstruct airflow, potentially leading to blockages and, in severe cases, triggering the engine warning light. Solution: Regularly clean or replace the air filter to ensure proper intake system function. Turbocharger Issues: Problems with the intake boost system or turbocharger can also trigger the engine warning light. The most common issue is turbocharger failure, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Solution: Visit a 4S shop to inspect and replace the turbocharger. Often, repairs are not cost-effective, so replacement is the preferred solution. Exhaust Issues: Faults in the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, or exhaust camshaft and bearings can trigger the warning light. The most common cause is catalytic converter failure, often due to physical damage or fuel system issues. Solution: Use lead- or silicon-based lubricants to maintain and clean the catalytic converter. Anti-Theft System:
