Tope

**DeltaBravo** · January 22nd, 2004 01:00 PM

medyo naguguluhan ako kung ano ang symptom ng isang engine na may tope.
ano ba ang symptom ng maguumpisa pa lang magkatope ang engine?

kahit ba naka idle lang ang engine na may tope eh madidistinguish na ba? or kailan tumatakbo or naka high rpm?

thanks

Kailangan may engine load, shift prematurely around 1800-2000 rpm. Then you will here engine clicking sound.

I had that problem before even without shifting prematurely. But when i changed gas stations nawala sya. Depends on the quality of gas sometimes. Or a very old engine(aka taxi).

thanks ungas, may dagdag pa ako...

automatic ung sasakyan. from idle, lagay ko sa drive, then accelerate hard (up to 3000-3500rpm). while the car is still gaining speed *3000rpm may naririnig akong sound like "tik tik tik". once na umabot na sa 60-70kph ang takbo nawawala na ung tunog.

pero kung slow drive lang ako, ung hindi bigla ang tapak sa gasolina kahit umabot na sa 3500rpm ko ay wala ung tunog.

in short nagkakaroon lang ng tik tik sound kapag umarangkada ako ng todo (0-80kph in 8 seconds).

ung fuel ko ay caltex gold.

tope ba or normal lang? ano ang gagalawin/check ko kung papunta na sa tope?

It's not about the brands of gasoline used, your engine must have been using the incorrect octane rating. Just follow what the manual's required octane rating.

Subukan nyo po muna sa ibang octane, alam ko kasi pag carburador pwede timplahin sa timing. Di ko lang po sigurado sa EFI engines.

noted ungas. pero 95 RON na ang vortex gold. yun nga ang mahirap sa efi eh, puro sensor ang nagtratrabaho. tnx.

**Ungas** · January 22nd, 2004 02:27 PM

Baka naman po mawawala if you switch to a lower octane rating? like Vortex Silver?

**DeltaBravo** · January 22nd, 2004 02:32 PM

balak ko nga kaso i'm afraid something might went wrong sa engine. nakuha ko kc ung car na Vortex Gold na ang gamit and ever since un na ang fuel. okey lang kaya magswitch ng lower fuel octane?

**Mardim** · January 22nd, 2004 02:32 PM

what i meant is the quality of gas from the specific gas station. I dunno but sometimes pag nagkakarga ako sa di masyadong magandang station( i.e. luma) parang may halong iba yung fuel. Vortex gold din yung kinakarga ko. (sorry to butt in BTW)

ur welcome mardim. same din ba ang problem mo before? 2 caltex station lang naman ang kinakargahan ko he he he... Ung Caltex sa Coastal Road ung Caltex malapit sa SM Bacoor.

cguro isolate ko muna sa 2 Caltex stations, then kung ganoon pa din eh downgrade ako sa Silver.
