The term refers to the process of rectifying a condition within an internal combustion engine where an excessive amount of fuel is present in the cylinders. This overabundance of fuel prevents proper combustion, hindering the engine’s ability to start or run efficiently. For example, repeatedly attempting to start a vehicle with a faulty choke mechanism can lead to the introduction of too much fuel into the engine, resulting in this state.
Addressing an over-fueled engine is crucial for preventing potential damage to engine components such as spark plugs and catalytic converters. Prompt resolution of this issue ensures optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. Historically, understanding and resolving this condition has been a fundamental aspect of automotive maintenance and repair.
