Engine is slowly dying - is there an additive that will remove gunky build up and get the cylinders moving properly?
If the engine has been standing for a time(6 months to a year) take the sparkys out and drop a little oil on top of the pistons, replace sparkys and turn over for 3 or 4 secs.
If car is running ok you can buy an Additive from your local Car/Truck store for a little cash. Bearing in mind it wont 'fix' the sluggishness but will help in the long run. Put some in every 4th fill up. HTHS

How do lawn mowers use oil?
Um... because they have an engine like your car that has moving parts and cylinders... only significantly smaller?
What does v stands for in a car enGine?
Engines are made in three formats. You have 'V' 'I' and 'W'. Its the inclination of the cylinders. 'I' means that its an inline engine all the cylinders are in a line moving up and down. 'V' means that the cylinders are oriented in a 'V' for instance a V6 has 3 cylinders each side and they move from the bottom of the 'V' to the top moving away from each other on either side as they do. It literally looks like a 'V'. A 'W' is two 'V's side by side rigged together.
George Stephenson's Rocket was an early example of What Form Of Steam Power?
The reciprocating steam engine (that is one that uses pistons in cylinders, moving in and out)
How many cylinders move in the intake stage on a car engine?
All cylinders are moving at the same time weather it is on the intake or exhaust stage. The valves close and open in cycles. Click the link to learn more.
What does engine oil do to a diesel engine?
The engine oil helps in lubricating the machine. Oil helps in cooling the engine and lubricates the moving parts properly. The moving parts are constantly shifting and are connected to each other. Oil is needed to grease the parts so that the components move properly without causing harm to the machines.
What system removes and reduces heat caused by friction between the moving engine parts and the explosion of fuel in the cylinders?
The lubrication system and the cooling system.
Why is it important for an internal combustion engine to have a cooling system?
Very quickly an uncooled engine will get so hot that the moving pistons weld themselves into their cylinders, ruining the engine. The oil system is part of that cooling process, by the way.
Can a 3 cylinder engine run good on 2 cylinder?
Not really. If one of the three cylinders is not functioning, the engine has lost MORE than 1/3 of the power if you take into consideration that the engine is still moving the "dead" piston.
What are the cylinder numbers for a 1990 Honda Prelude?

Is an engine moving a car chemical or physical?
The movement of a car engine is considered physical, as it involves the transformation of mechanical energy into motion. Chemical reactions may occur within the engine, such as combustion in the cylinders, but the overall process is primarily physical in nature.
Does a car have to be moving to charge the battery?
No , for the battery to be charged the engine must be running . This means that your alternator , if it's functioning properly , is charging the car's battery as the engine is on/running .
What force keeps your car moving?
The force that keeps your car moving is the engine's power generated by burning fuel. The engine's power is transmitted to the wheels, which in turn propel the car forward. Additionally, factors like gravity, inertia, and friction also play a role in keeping the car moving.
