1

Which of the following is not a function of the oil pan?

62% Answer Correctly

acts as the engine oil reservoir

screens debris from oil

feeds the oil pump

cools engine oil


Solution

The oil pan contains the engine oil reservoir of from four to six quarts of oil and feeds the oil pump through the oil pickup tube. An oil strainer floats at the top of the oil in the oil pan and screens debris from the oil before feeding it to the oil pump.


2

What type of energy does an automotive battery produce?

59% Answer Correctly

rotational energy

alternating current

chemical energy

direct current


Solution

An automotive battery produces direct current for use by automotive systems.


3

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a __________ connected to the engine intake manifold.

54% Answer Correctly

speed sensor

cylinder

brake line

vacuum booster


Solution

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.


4

Both intake and exhaust valves are closed as the piston begins moving back up from the bottom of the cylinder, compressing the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber which also makes it hotter. This describes which engine stroke?

73% Answer Correctly

intake

power

exhaust

compression


Solution

During the compression stroke, both intake and exhaust valves are closed as the piston begins moving back up from the bottom of the cylinder (bottom dead center or BDC). This compresses the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber which also makes it hotter.


5

What is the pimary advantage of using power brakes on a vehicle?

62% Answer Correctly

utilizes battery power to assist in braking

allows the use of antilock brakes

requires less brake fluid to operate the braking system

provides higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system


Solution

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.
