1

Which of the following is not a component in the engine lubrication system?

70% Answer Correctly

oil filter

pressure relief valve

differential

pickup tube


Solution

In engine lubrication, oil remains in the oil pan until the engine is turned on. It then gets sucked up the pickup tube by the oil pump and pressurized. This pressure is moderated by the pressure relief valve and the oil is fed through the oil filter into the engine to lubricate it.


2

The right front wheel of your front-wheel drive car drops into a pothole and the left front wheel doesn't lose contact with the road. Which of the following is true?

75% Answer Correctly

your car has a rigid axle front suspension

your car has an independent rear suspension

your car has an independent front suspension

your car has a rigid axle rear suspension


Solution

An independent suspension allows the wheels on either side of an axle to move independently from each other. The fact that the left front wheel didn't move up in response to the right front wheel moving down is evidence of this.


3

What's the name of the low-voltage winding in the ignition coil?

57% Answer Correctly

distributor coil winding

secondary coil winding

primary coil winding

tertiary coil winding


Solution

The ignition coil is a high-voltage transformer made up of two coils of wire. The primary coil winding is the low-voltage winding and has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary coil winding is the high-voltage winding that surrounds the primary and is made up of thousands of turns of fine wire. Current flows from the battery through the primary coil winding which creates a changing magnetic field inside the secondary coil. This induces a very high-voltage current in the secondary coil which it feeds to the distributor.


4

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to:

60% Answer Correctly

thermostat

cylinder heads

engine block

outside air


Solution

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.


5

Which of the following is a relay that connects the battery to the starter motor when the ignition key is turned?

54% Answer Correctly

ignition coil

solenoid

alternator

actuator


Solution

The cylindrical solenoid is a relay that safely connects the high amperage battery to the starter motor when the ignition key is turned. This current then allows the engine to turn at a high enough speed to start.
