1

The __________ converts pressure on the brake pedal to hydraulic pressure in the brake lines.

60% Answer Correctly

master cylinder

brake linkage

brake cylinder

brake knuckle


Solution

The master (brake) cylinder converts pressure on the brake pedal to hydraulic pressure in the brake lines.


2

Too much air results in a __________ air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter.

56% Answer Correctly

light

heavy

rich

lean


Solution

The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.


3

Engine oil viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W indicating viscosity at __________ ℉ and the XX indicating viscosity at __________ ℃.

65% Answer Correctly

100, 0

0, 0

0, 100

100, 100


Solution

The primary component of the lubrication system is engine oil. Engines require oil blends with different thickness (viscosity) and additives depending on their operating conditions. Viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W (winter) rating the oil’s viscosity at 0 ℉ (-17.8 ℃) and the XX indicating viscosity at 100 ℃.


4

A vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by:

69% Answer Correctly

fuses and circuit breakers

the alternator

the battery

the voltage regulator


Solution

The lighting system consists of interior lights, instrument panel lighting, headlights, and taillights. Like household electrical circuits, the vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by fuses and circuit breakers.


5

The catalytic converter output consists primarily of:

65% Answer Correctly

oxygen

carbon monoxide

water and carbon dioxide

gasoline


Solution

The catalytic converter converts pollutants in exhaust gas into less pollutant substances like carbon dioxide and water.
