1

__________ are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.

67% Answer Correctly

ignition coils

shock absorbers

suspension springs

control arms


Solution

Suspension springs are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.


2

What's the name of the high-voltage winding in the ignition coil?

51% Answer Correctly

initial coil winding

primary coil winding

battery coil winding

secondary coil winding


Solution

The ignition coil is a high-voltage transformer made up of two coils of wire. The primary coil winding is the low-voltage winding and has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary coil winding is the high-voltage winding that surrounds the primary and is made up of thousands of turns of fine wire. Current flows from the battery through the primary coil winding which creates a changing magnetic field inside the secondary coil. This induces a very high-voltage current in the secondary coil which it feeds to the distributor.


3

Coolant is circulated through the engine by the:

61% Answer Correctly

camshaft

radiator

water jacket

water pump


Solution

The water pump is driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft and ensures that coolant moves through the engine and radiator.


4

The primary purpose of the muffler is to:

75% Answer Correctly

reclaim unburned fuel

cool the exhaust

quiet exhaust

remove harmful gases from the exhaust


Solution

The muffler follows the catalytic converter and absorbs sound to help quiet load exhaust. It is followed by the exhaust pipe which is the final exit point for exhaust gas from the vehicle.


5

Which of the following is not a primary function of a vehicle's lubrication system?

62% Answer Correctly

quiets engine noise

increases fuel economy

clean contaminants

cools engine parts


Solution

The lubrication system lubricates engine components by putting an oil film between them to reduce friction and smooth engine operation, cools by absorbing heat from engine parts, seals the pistons and cylinders to contain combustion, cleans contaminants, and quiets engine noise.
