ASSIGNMENT 4

1. Elaborate;
a. Detonation.

Detonation is the abrupt combustion or explosion of the fuel charge inside the
cylinder. During normal combustion, the spark plugs ignite the fuel charge and the
fuel has a consistent and even burn as the piston moves through the power stroke
and chemical energy is efficiently converted to mechanical.

b. Pre-ignition.

Pre-Ignition is defined as combustion that begins before it is intended to, before the
regular timed spark. Pre-Ignition can occur alone or as a result of detonation. Hot
spots from detonation, improper heat range spark plugs and glowing carbon deposits
from lean mixtures are common causes of pre-ignition.

c. Backfire

Combustion or an explosion produced by a running internal combustion engine that

occurs in the air intake system rather than inside the combustion chamber.

d. After-fire

Unburnt fuel that is ignited in the exhaust system can produce loud sounds even if
flames are not present at the tailpipe. This is called an afterburn or after-fire since a
backfire occurs through the intake system. A visible flame may momentarily shoot
out of the exhaust pipe under some conditions. Either condition may cause a loud
popping noise and usually indicates an improperly tuned engine.

4.
a. What is the main difference of Teledyne Continental Fuel Injection System betwen
RSA system?

• RSA system uses both fuel and air metering forces to meter fuel. While the
TCM system only uses fuel metering forces.

b. List down 4 basic components of Teledyne Continental Fuel Injection System.

• Engine driven fuel pump (the heart

• F.C.U
• Fuel Mianifold a.k.a Spider (ball valve)
• fuel nozzle
