1

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

electric fuel pump

fuel manifold

fuel rail

fuel filter


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.


2

The catalytic converter output consists primarily of:

65% Answer Correctly

water and carbon dioxide

oxygen

gasoline

carbon monoxide


Solution

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


3

An overcooled engine:

73% Answer Correctly

generates more power

uses less gasoline

is more efficient

is less efficient


Solution

An overcooled engine is less efficient. During the power stroke, combustion heat pushes down the piston. If too much of this heat is lost to the cooling system, the fuel might not combust completely and contaminate the engine's lubricating oil diminishing its lubricating ability. Incomplete combustion of fuel also negatively affects the engine's fuel efficiency and power output.


4

The fuel injectors are fed fuel by the:

65% Answer Correctly

electric fuel pump

powertrain control module

fuel pressure regulator

fuel return line


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.


5

Which of the following is not a primary function of a vehicle's lubrication system?

62% Answer Correctly

clean contaminants

increases fuel economy

cools engine parts

quiets engine noise


Solution

The lubrication system lubricates engine components by putting an oil film between them to reduce friction and smooth engine operation, cools by absorbing heat from engine parts, seals the pistons and cylinders to contain combustion, cleans contaminants, and quiets engine noise.
