Why Does My Classic Chrysler Fail Emissions Tests, and How Can I Address This?

Classic Chryslers often fail emissions tests due to outdated parts and modern fuel incompatibility. Key issues include worn oxygen sensors, improper fuel mixture often caused by old carburetors, and erroneous ignition timing. Effective diagnosis starts with inspecting fuel injectors for air-fuel mixing accuracy. High ethanol fuels exacerbate poor combustion; thus, consider fuel type. Upgrading exhaust… Continue reading Why Does My Classic Chrysler Fail Emissions Tests, and How Can I Address This?

Why Does My Chrysler’s Engine Perform Poorly at High Altitudes?

Chrysler engines face reduced performance at high altitudes primarily due to diminished air density and oxygen availability, crucial for combustion efficacy. At high elevations, the air pressure drops, leading to less oxygen entering the engine, disrupting the ideal 14.7:1 air-fuel ratio. This causes incomplete fuel combustion, lowering power output and efficiency. Chrysler vehicles generally utilize… Continue reading Why Does My Chrysler’s Engine Perform Poorly at High Altitudes?
