1

Too much air results in a __________ air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter.

56% Answer Correctly

heavy

rich

lean

light


Solution

The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.


2

Which of the following is not a part of the oil pump?

37% Answer Correctly

pressure relief valve

oil filter

all of these are part of the oil pump

oil galleries


Solution

The oil pump is driven by the camshaft and is responsible for pumping oil through the oil galleries (passages) that run throughout the engine. It also contains the oil filter and a pressure relief valve which prevents excessive pressure from building up in the lubrication system.


3

A cylinders acts as a guide for a:

82% Answer Correctly

driveshaft

piston

valve

camshaft


Solution

Cylinders act as a guide for the pistons that translate the heat energy of combustion into the mechanical energy necessary to move a vehicle. Piston rings seal the piston to the cylinder to contain combustion gases and also regulate the oil distribution between the piston and cylinder wall. A cylinder head closes in the top of the cylinder forming the combustion chamber which is sealed by a head gasket (head). The head provides space for air and fuel intake valves, exhaust valves, and mounts for spark plugs and fuel injectors.


4

Gases from combustion are pushed out through the exhaust valve as the piston travels up the cylinder to top dead center. This describes which engine stroke?

67% Answer Correctly

compression

exhaust

power

intake


Solution

During the exhaust stroke, just before the piston reaches bottom dead center the exhaust valve opens. The resulting gases from combustion are then pushed out through the exhaust valve as the piston travels up the cylinder to top dead center, completing stroke four of the four-stroke piston cycle.


5

The combustion chamber is enclosed by the:

52% Answer Correctly

piston

cylinder head

piston ring

head gasket

Piston rings seal the piston to the cylinder to contain combustion gases and also regulate the oil distribution between the piston and cylinder wall.
