Engine Backfire

noreply@blogger.com (Aldrin Montierro) — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 10:34:00 +0000

What is an Engine Backfire?
There are typically two kinds of engine backfires, one is generated from the intake manifold of the engine, and the second is expelled from the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car. A backfire is an explosion of sorts in the intake manifold or the exhaust system. A backfire occurs when there is an imbalance in the air to fuel ratio required for your vehicle to operate properly. If the fuel mixture is too lean (not enough fuel) you may have a backfire in the intake, or too rich (too much fuel) you may get a backfire out of the exhaust system. Most backfires are easily repaired by correcting the imbalance and providing a greater or lesser percentage of fuel to the mixture.

Common Problems and Solutions
Most causes of backfires in the exhaust system can be addressed by troubleshooting the reason for the air to fuel ratio imbalance. The solution usually involves checking for vacuum leaks, changing the airflow sensor, oxygen sensor, or fuel filter to ensure the fuel system is functioning properly.

A common backfire situation occurs when there is a small leak in the air injection system that feeds the exhaust system. This can cause unburned fuel to explode suddenly. One of the most common causes is a stuck or faulty air intake or gulp valve near the exhaust manifold.

Backfiring can also occur with a sudden drop in fuel pressure. This may be due to a faulty fuel pump or a plugged fuel filter. Correcting problems in the fuel system usually resolves these issues.

Incorrect ignition timing to the spark plugs is another cause of backfire. Adjusting the ignition distributor, if the engine is so equipped, may resolve this problem. Adjusting engine timing is not difficult and can be done with a timing light by following the timing adjustment procedure for your car. If you do not know your car's ignition timing procedure please visit our car repair manual page. A vehicle that is not timed properly will not idle, run or operate correctly and will often backfire rapidly. On newer cars you will need to scan the pcm to check for CKS (crankshaft angle sensor) and CMS (camshaft position sensor) related trouble codes.

Maintenance
To prevent backfires there are a few things you can do:
Change the fuel filter as needed, the fuel filter is a vital part of your fuel system and can cause a backfire(s) if the filter is clogged and not changed regularly. A bad fuel filter can cause low fuel pressure creating a perfect situation for a backfire to occur. Changing the filter is simple and can save gas with improved performance of your vehicle's engine reducing the occurrence of backfires.

Tune up and service your fuel injection system in accordance with the maintenance schedule for your particular car. This ensures correct fuel consumption with the correct amount of emissions. Fuel that is not burned completely will leave ample opportunity for a backfire to occur. These maintenance requirements are associated with other systems on your vehicle. Avoiding maintenance of your car can increase the risk of backfiring and other system malfunctions.

Battery Kill Switch

noreply@blogger.com (Aldrin Montierro) — Wed, 25 May 2011 13:00:00 +0000

Battery Kill Switch - Switched On

A Battery Kill Switch For Security And Safety

The ultimate safety and security device. Turn the key to add security by cutting car circuitry to prevent unauthorized vehicle use. Just turn the key, leave it in or take it out for full comfort and safety.

Install it in your dash, or in a secret location. In adition, during car shows the kill switch also acts as a battery disconnect at your convenience. May also be used for anti-theft, performance safety, or both!

How to Install a Battery Kill Switch

Tools and Materials Needed:

Battery switch
Socket wrench
Philips screwdriver
Drill
Drill bits
Silicone caulking

Step 1 - Buy New Battery Switch

When installing a battery switch you need to pay very close attention to the actual switch that you buy. Look at your owner's manual and find out the exact power output of your battery and other components. The battery disconnect switch should match up with this. If it does not then you will continue to blow the switch. If this happens as you are driving down the road, the results could be pretty devastating.

Step 2 - Remove Cables from Battery

A dangerous habit that most people get into is to only remove the negative cable from the battery. You should always disconnect both the positive and the negative cables from the battery poles to ensure your safety when working on the electrical components. This is also a good time to clean them off to make sure of a good connection point.

Step 3 - Remove Positive Cable Terminal

Once you have the positive cable removed you need to remove the terminal from the end of the cable. You can use a Philips screwdriver to do this very easily. Be careful not to break any of the wire as you unscrew the terminal.

Step 4 - Wire in Switch

After you have removed the terminal from the battery cable, you can now install the switch. Wire the switch in between the cable and the battery terminal. By doing this, when the switch is in the off position, you will break the contact and you will not be using the battery. Make sure that when you install the switch that you install it in the on position.

Step 5 - Reconnect Positive Battery Terminal

Now that the switch is wired on at the end of the battery cable you can reconnect the terminal.

Step 6 - Secure Switch

Once the switch is connected to the battery cable you will need to secure the disconnect switch in a concealed area. Doing this will ensure that anyone who wants to steal your car will not be able to easily locate it. Once you have found a place for the switch you will need to drill in some pilot holes with your drill.

Step 7 - Screw Switch to Frame

Mark the holes for the screws that will be holding the switch in place with a marker. Drill the holes with your drill and make sure that any burrs are removed. Position the switch with the holes lined up and then secure with the supplied screws. You may want to cover the wire connections with a little dab of silicone caulking to act as a weatherproofing agent so the wire connections do not start to corrode and fall off.

Step 8 - Connect Battery Cables

Once you have all of the wires connected and the switch installed you can now reconnect the battery cables to the battery poles.

3 Car Shows You Should Check Out

noreply@blogger.com (Aldrin Montierro) — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:53:00 +0000

Over 120 cars from different automotive eras are expected to wow visitors during the Grand 3-Ring Motoring Event from May 26 to 29.

When the doors of the SMX Convention Center at the SM Mall of Asia opens for the car show on May 26, it marks the celebration of the Philippine car industry's longest running auto show--the Trans Sport Show.

It's no secret that the Trans Sport Show has been through ups and downs, depending on how the economy is affecting the auto industry. It has, however, also played a vital role in developing the Filipinos' love for cars.

"(The Trans Sport Show) has become the most important place where car enthusiasts are born and its resilience over the years makes it iconic," said Sophie delos Santos, president of TradeShow International (TSI). TSI is the organizer of the Trans Sport Show.

As part of its commemoration of the Trans Sport Show's 20th edition, TSI is also holding the 1st Philippine Nostalgic Motor Show to feature noteworthy automobiles that were manufactured up to 1989.

"Pinoys hold on to their cars for so many years--some even at least 10 years. There's family heritage there. With the Nostalgic Show, we want to promote this heritage and we want to encourage that," delos Santos said.

This year's car show is even going beyond just nostalgia as the Grand 3-Ring Car Motor Event will also be home to the 4th Manila Sports Car Club Concours d'Elegance to feature preserved and restored cars that were manufactured before December 31, 1976. As the most prestigious vintage car competition in the Philippines, the Concours is limited to 30 cars and they will be judged by experts from Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.

"There are no local judges because we want to bring world-class standards to the Philippines," said Andres Sta. Maria, Manila Sports Car Club head.

Ferrari creates 599-based one-off for Ferrari collector

noreply@blogger.com (Aldrin Montierro) — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:45:00 +0000

Ferrari is ready to unveil the Ferrari Superamerica 45, a unique one-off model made by the Italian carmaker's Personalization Program and commissioned by Ferrari collector and enthusiast Peter Kalikow.

Based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, the Ferrari Superamerica 45 was styled by Ferrari Design and built in-house based on the specifications given by Kalikow to mark his 45th year as a Ferrari client.

Everything about the car's design is unique, like the carbon-fiber rotating hard top and its integrated rear screen. The carbon-fiber boot is also new and is designed to house the roof, reduce drag and increase the downforce on the rear wheels. Double air vents highlight the front fender while the chromed front grille and burnished aluminum A-pillars, wing mirrors and door handles add to the Superamerica 45's bespoke touches.

Kalikow also specified that the Superamerica 45 be finished in Blue Antille to match an important car in his collection--a 1961 Ferrari 400 Superamerica cabriolet with serial number 2331SA.

The Superamerica 45's five-spoke wheels are body-colored while the roof and other carbon-fiber elements on the bodywork like the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser are finished in a special contrasting darker blue; a theme that's carried over to the car's interior with the carefully selected combination of Cuoio leather trim and Blu Scuro carbon fiber details to complement the latest-generation touch-screen infotainment system.

Motorcade to bring Maico Buncio to his final resting place tomorrow

Motorcade to bring Maico Buncio to his final resting place tomorrow

Expect traffic in Mandaluyong, Quezon City and Marikina to be heavy tomorrow as over 1,000 motorcycle riders have reportedly signified their intent to join the memorial motorcade for champion motorcycle racer Maico Buncio when he is brought to his final resting place in Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina tomorrow afternoon.

The motorcade will start at the Loyola Memorial Chapels in Guadalupe, Makati, and briefly take the EDSA southbound lane before turning right on Estrella Avenue to go to the Mandaluyong Circle via San Francisco Avenue.

The procession will then head to Boni Avenue and pause at the corners of Basilan Street and J.P. Rizal as Buncio's funeral car and the vehicles carrying his immediate family members will take a brief detour to pass by YRS Motorcycle Modifications, which is owned by the Buncio family, at the corner of Halcon and Talayan Streets before rejoining the motorcade.

After going through the tunnel along Pioneer Street, the motorcade will turn left on Reliance Street and roll on until Shaw Boulevard before taking the northbound lane of EDSA. The motorcade will then turn right on Temple Drive and traverse White Plains Avenue before taking Katipunan Avenue and finally proceeding toward Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina.

Motorcyclists who are planning to join the motorcade are advised to wait in one of four designated stations and wait for the funeral procession to pass by before joining it at the tail end.

The stations are:

* Loyola Memorial Chapels in Guadalupe;

* Mandaluyong Circle;

* Temple Drive (EDSA Freedom Monument); and

* Katipunan Avenue near Barangka, Marikina

To easily identify the riders who are part of the procession, a black-and-yellow ribbon should be tied to the motorcycle's left-side mirror.

"Ang number ni Maico, 129, is yellow, and yung edge ng number is black," explained Mel Aquino, the motorcade's organizer. "Yellow also means peace, and black is for the condolences. Yun ang bilin ni Sir Yoyong Buncio (Maico’s father)."

While traffic is expected to be heavier than normal in the areas the funeral procession will pass by, let us remember that this is being done to honor one of the best--if not the best--motorcycle racers our country has ever seen.

Rest in peace, Maico.

20th Trans Sport Show

noreply@blogger.com (Aldrin Montierro) — Wed, 18 May 2011 00:12:00 +0000

Now on its 20th year, the Trans Sport Show is once again set to open its doors for car enthusiasts to see the 120 of the latest show cars from the automotive aftermarket industry. The 2011 Trans Sport Show moves to the SMX Convention Center in SM Mall Of Asia from its regular home at the SM Megamall Megatrade Hall, and will be held from May 26 to 29, 2011.

From its inception in 1992 as a general automotive show, Trans Sport Show has evolved from just a motorshow to becoming a part of the culture of Filipino automotive enthusiasts.

"It is amazing to meet enthusiasts who have been attending the show since 1992 – who now have children with the same interest and passion and have become Trans Sport Show patrons themselves," say Sophie delos Santos, Tradeshow International President.

The Trans Sport Show will be the venue for competing automotive aftermarket brands, custom car shops and tuning houses to show off their latest works of automotive art. As a throwback to the success of the Trans Sport Show for the past 20 years, this year's edition will showcase 13 of the Best of Show and Reserve Best of Show winners from past years. Making this milestone show even more special will be the attendance of Barry Meguiar, host of Speed TV series Car Crazy and President & CEO of Meguiar's Car Care Products.

Another bonus for the 2011 running of the TSS - branded as the Grand 3-Ring Motoring Event - are two other shows that will be taking place at the same venue, as the Trans Sport Show will also be the host of two other events: the 1st Philippine Nostalgic Motor Show (PNMS) and the 4th Manila Sports Car Club (MSCC) Concours Concours d' Elegance .

The Manila Sports Car Club (MSCC) Concours d' Elegance is the most prestigious vintage car competition in the Philippines, bar none. Limited to 30 of the best restored and preserved cars in the Philippines, entries will be judged by automotive experts from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan led by Chief Judge Osamu Hasegawa.

Also to be held at the TSS is the 1st Philippine Nostalgic Motor Show with a very special display of 12 collectible and some rare vintage racing vehicles. Old school car enthusiasts and historic racing aficionados will be given a treat as the lineup of cars ranges from rare cars like the 1960 Alfa Romeo Giullietta, to fast classics like a 1973 Porsche RSR, and even the popular 1984 Mitsubishi Lancer Turbo.

"Trans Sport Show literally spans generations and transcends demographic boundaries, drawing car lovers from all over," concludes delos Santos.

The Grand 3-Ring Motoring event is being co-presented by Phoenix Fuels and is sponsored in part by The House of Precast, Solar Auto Club and 3M Philippines.
