1

__________ results from oil buildup in the combustion chamber.

43% Answer Correctly

engine knock

preignition

detonation

combustion


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.


2

What is the function of the alternator?

59% Answer Correctly

charges the battery when the car is not running

provides AC power for the car's electrical components

converts motion from the wheels into DC power

replaces the electrical energy that the car draws from the battery


Solution

An automobile's electrical system runs on DC power and the bulk of that power is supplied by the battery. The alternator converts the motion of the rotor into AC power which is then fed through the rectifier to convert it to DC power that both the car and the battery can use.


3

The wheel __________ is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly.

66% Answer Correctly

shaft

hub

knuckle

base


Solution

The wheel hub is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly. The wheel hub can rotate while being held stable by the steering knuckle which applies the motion of the control arms to the wheels.


4

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

51% Answer Correctly

half shaft

steering linkage

control arm

drive 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 the following enables heat transfer from the cylinder heads to the coolant?

49% Answer Correctly

radiator

water jacket

water sleeve

water pump


Solution

A water jacket is a coolant-filled casing that allows heat transfer from the engine block and cylinder heads to the liquid coolant.
