Which of the following transfers the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension?

68% Answer Correctly

transfer case

control arms

constant velocity (CV) joint

springs


Solution

Constant velocity (CV) joints are located at both ends of a half shaft and their purpose is to transfer the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension. The inner CV joint connects the shaft to the transmission and the outer CV joint connects the shaft to the wheel.


2

Which of the following statements about fuel injection is false?

52% Answer Correctly

atomizes fuel using high pressure and injects it into the engine

relies on suction to draw fuel into the engine

optimizes fuel delivery using various electronic engine sensors

has replaced the carburetor as the primary fuel delivery system used in automotive engines


Solution

Fuel injection has replaced the carburetor as the primary automobile fuel delivery system. The main difference between the fuel injector and the carburetor is that fuel injection atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle under high pressure while a carburetor relies on suction to draw fuel into an accelerated intake air stream.


3

Which of the following regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston?

66% Answer Correctly

connecting arm

camshaft

halfshaft

crankshaft


Solution

The camshaft is linked to the crankshaft through a timing belt and regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston. An engine designated OverHead Camshaft (OHC) locates the camshaft in the cylinder head. An engine with Double OverHead Camshaft (DOHC) has two camshafts, one to regulate the intake valves and one to regulate the exhaust valves.


4

The stoichiometric ratio is approximately:

70% Answer Correctly

14.7

1:1

1:14.7

14.7:1


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.


5

Piston rings are responsible for which of the following?

49% Answer Correctly

connecting the piston to the camshaft

containing combustion

regulating oil distribution inside the cylinder

connecting the piston to the spark plug


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.
