1

How are the cylinders numbered in V-type engines?

42% Answer Correctly

sequentially from the front of the engine to the back

alternating from the front of the engine to the back

sequentially from the back of the engine to the front

cylinder numbering varies by manufacturer


Solution

In V-type engines the numbering sequence varies by manufacturer.


2

Which of the following is not a function of a car battery?

50% Answer Correctly

delivers supplemental current when the alternator can't handle high electrical system loads

acts as a supplemental source of energy to moderate engine performance

acts as an electrical reservoir for excessive current

delivers current to the ignition system to start the engine


Solution

The lead-acid battery is the core of the electrical system, providing current to the ignition system to start the engine as well as delivering supplemental current when the alternator can't handle high electrical system loads and acting as an electrical reservoir for excessive current.


3

__________ results from oil buildup in the combustion chamber.

43% Answer Correctly

engine knock

preignition

combustion

detonation


Solution

Preignition results from the buildup of fuel deposits and/or oil in the combustion chamber. These deposits increase chamber pressure and reduce heat tranfer to the coolant. The trapped heat then raises the temperature of the air-fuel mix to the point that it combusts before ignition.


4

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

50% Answer Correctly

steering linkage

drive shaft

control arm

half shaft


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.


5

Which of these is not necessary for combustion?

80% Answer Correctly

heat source

air

fuel

accelerant


Solution

Combustion is the burning of an air-fuel mixture to provide energy. It requires the presence of air, fuel, and a heat source to ignite the air-fuel mixture. In the internal combustion engine that powers automobiles and trucks the combustion happens inside the engine utilzing a fuel like gasoline, diesel fuel, or natural gas.
