1

Exhaust gases from cylinder exhaust valves are collected by the:

65% Answer Correctly

tail pipe

exhaust manifolds

catalytic converter

muffler


Solution

The cast iron exhaust manifolds collect engine exhaust gas from multiple cylinder exhaust valves and deliver it to the exhaust pipe. Exhaust manifolds can be generic or specially tuned (header pipes) to the engine. Header pipes deliver higher performance but are more expensive and less durable.


2

Which of the following regulates the flow of coolant through the radiator?

58% Answer Correctly

thermostat

water jacket

water pump

crankshaft


Solution

The thermostat controls coolant (and, through it, engine) temperature by regulating the flow of coolant through the radiator. A bypass tube allows coolant to bypass the radiator and flow back into the water pump when its temperature is low enough that the thermostat is closed.


3

The fuel pressure regulator ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. The fuel pressure regulator is part of the:

40% Answer Correctly

fuel rail

fuel filter

electric fuel pump

fuel manifold


Solution

The electric fuel pump feeds pressurized fuel through a fuel filter to the fuel injectors via the fuel rail manifold. The fuel rail contains the fuel pressure regulator which ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. Excess fuel bled off by the pressure regulator returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.


4

The intake ports on the cylinder heads is fed outside air via the:

66% Answer Correctly

intake pressure regulator

intake control module

intake manifold

intake air pump


Solution

The intake manifold distributes outside air to the intake ports on the cylinder heads. The intake air filter removes any airborne contaminants before the air enters the engine.


5

A __________ is a drive axle that extends from a transaxle or differential to one of the drive wheels.

50% Answer Correctly

drive shaft

half shaft

steering linkage

control arm


Solution

A half shaft is a drive axle that extends from a transaxle or differential to one of the drive wheels. There are two half shafts per drive axle, one for each wheel, each doing "half" the job.
