What is difference between 1.4 AND 1.6 engine?

Question:
Obviously bigger engine, but is it faster, more expensive to run etc...

Answers:

1.4 has less acceleration and takes slightly longer to reach comparible speeds. 1.6 tends to be a thirstier engine and need more fuel. There is also the matter of road tax. A 1.4 costs £115 whilst a 1.6 is £180 per annum. Insurance costs are also higher on 1.6.

They seem like really small engines but the 1.6 liter has slightly more power. They seem like about the size of a very small car.

Looking for ingredients for making ethonal?

Maybe but with the extra torque from a 1.6 you'll be sailing up motorway hills past all of those 1.4s. Don't try pulling a caravan though.

Alternator Problems?

A 1.4 falls into a lower (cheaper) insurance class, and is slightly better on fuel, but performance wise there's little to differentiate between the two sizes.
I'd go for the 1.4 anytime. It's money in your pocket.. :)

Core fees for auto parts?

The output of horsepower is about the same, maybe a little more on the 1.6 but nothing noticeable. You will pay a few hundred dollars more for the .2 more cubic centimeters. Don't get caught in the hype.

How To adj the headlights on a mack ch600 truck?

Some 1.4 engines fitted with turbos are as fast as any 2.0ltr hot hatchback. However, although more economical they are also about the same price as the larger engined car (see the VW range). Standard 1.4 engines are not as fast as a 1.6 of the same type but they are cheaper to buy, there is often a trade-off though in fuel economy. If you run a 1.4 engine really hard you can lose the fuel economy advantage and would be better off with a larger engine.

Ashop mixed fuel with my engine oil. they drained it, a week later the car threw a rod.Couldthatbethecause?

the bigger the engine the more costly to run, usually.
the bigger the engine in same model of car as smaller engined one should be faster.
also cost depends on how u drive, drive like a maniac it costs u more.
now, the above applies for petrol engines only.
diesel engines you have to assess seperatly and cant compare to petrol ones.
for performance/power look at the bhp of the engine, higher number, more power.

I want to put a Cold Air Intake on my ride. I am worried about it sucking up water and hydrolocking.?

The 1600 engine depending upon how you drive and the weight of the vehicle can be less expensive to run, as far as petrol is concerned, this is because the engine is not working so hard and low gear work is reduced. The larger engine is not necessarily faster as even a small engine can if set up correctly have the same top speed, however as I said before the fuel consumption will be the same or higher because it takes the same amount of energy to reach the same speed with the same drag and weight.

On engaging 3rd gear grinding noise occurs?

not much, but I guess it all depends on a lot of other factors. power and fuel economy are going to be virtually the same with the biggest difference probably being better acceleration and smoothness from the 1.6 ltre. 1.4 ltre is not a common size for an engine which usually means that there is a problem inherent with the bore stroke combination used to achieve this displacement.

Problem with my brakes i think i have a fiat punto and i was driving?

The 1.4 and 1.6 refer to the displacement of the engine in liters. Displacement is equal to the volume of combustible air/fuel mixture ingested. A larger engine will give you more horsepower and torque but at the same time usually uses more fuel. The 1.6 will be faster but probably less efficient but at this size it will not make that much of a difference.

Does anybody know how to reset the fuel saftey swithch on a 2003 olds alero?

If you are an easy driver the difference in gas mileage would be negligible. The larger displacement should give you slightly better acceleration. Assuming they are the same brand engine and same design don't expect any significant differences.
