Mechanics is a rather Cartesian field. But if there is indeed a phenomenon which is often complex to explain, it is unstable idling or loss of acceleration. Whether it concerns a Lancia Aurelia, or any model of car. But we're here to help. Undeniably, the origin can come from many constituents of the engine block, or even electronics. To find the nature of the Lancia Aurelia breakdown, you must follow a fairly simple methodology. But first, let's see the signs of a bad idle.
Idling problem on a Lancia Aurelia: the symptoms
Un unstable idle close to stall . This is arguably the most common problem when idling. This feeling that the vehicle may stall while driving at a normal pace, or that the Lancia Aurelia grazes . It can happen that the stall occurs. In this situation, it is a real danger for the driver. In this specific case, don't delay worrying about it. We invite you to carry out a control through the paragraph below. We can also understand that your Lancia Aurelia has a acceleration problem . No relation this time with a problem of low mode. Losses of power and acceleration holes will appear for various reasons. We must avoid confusing these two different concerns. We advise you to browse our posts concerning power losses.
Lancia Aurelia: developing a diagnosis to understand the origin of idling
We must start by performing several very easy checks, before going into more detail.
Slow motion of the Lancia Aurelia: exhaust fumes.
A black smoke emanates from the exhaust. This usually means that the air and fuel mixture is bad. But also that the air filter is cluttered. In both situations, an idling problem can appear on the Lancia Aurelia. A White smoke emanates from the exhaust. In this case again it can come from a disruption. White smoke is usually water vapor. This is likely to be an intake or head gasket problem.
Checking the engine block components
As we have seen, an idling problem on a Lancia Aurelia could arise from several factors. You should therefore take the time to inspect the engine block carefully. However, it is still suggested to be extremely careful and not to tamper with the engine block components too much, as this may worsen the problem or hide the nature of the problem. We obviously suggest that you go to an auto repairer for a more appropriate diagnosis. Here are therefore point by point the constituents to check.
- The first thing to do is check all of the hoses . They can be pierced, or even detached.
- In addition, the sensors and sensors of your engine block. It is however complex to check their correct functioning. Tutorials are easily found on youtube, and this often requires electronic devices.
- Perform a control of pressures hydraulic. Again, the pressure controls require adequate tools.
Idling malfunctions are common but are difficult to recognize. A visual check on your Lancia Aurelia will give you an idea, but it is better not to tackle amateur DIY.
