What to Do When the Third Cylinder of the Engine Misfires?
1 Answers
First, confirm that the third cylinder is not working by pulling off the high-voltage wire to test for spark. The next step is to measure the cylinder pressure. If it is normal, check the fuel injector circuit. If the circuit is normal, clean the fuel injector. Inspect the spark plug, piston rings, and cylinder. Examine the distributor, the third cylinder's distributor rotor, the third cylinder's spark plug wire, and the third cylinder's spark plug to identify the cause. Advantages of a three-cylinder engine: 1. Compact size and lightweight. If you've ever visited a repair shop, you might have noticed that just two mechanics can easily handle the installation and removal, which undoubtedly makes later maintenance much more convenient. 2. Fewer cylinders mean a relatively smaller displacement, naturally leading to lower fuel consumption and further reducing vehicle operating costs. 3. A turbocharged three-cylinder engine's power output is not inferior to that of a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.
