The fuel injectors are fed fuel by the:
fuel pressure regulator |
|
electric fuel pump |
|
fuel return line |
|
powertrain control module |
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.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of disc brakes?
uses a rotor |
|
uses brake pads |
|
newer brake system |
|
uses brake shoes |
Both drum brake and disc brake assemblies use friction to stop a car's wheels from turning but each do it in a slightly different way. A drum brake assembly uses a large iron drum attached to the wheel and brake shoes that press against the drum to slow the rotation of the drum and, consequently, the wheel. A disc brake assembly employs friction in the same way as a drum brake but instead uses a rotor, also attached to the wheel, and two brake pads that squeeze against the surface of the rotor.
Another name for the powertrain control module is the __________ control unit.
transmission |
|
universal |
|
electrical |
|
engine |
The main computer or powertrain control module (PCM) uses pre-programmed software to analyze the input received from sensors and produce output signals to adjust vehicle performance and operation. (Engine control unit (ECU) is another name for the PCM.)
Exhaust gases from cylinder exhaust valves are collected by the:
exhaust manifolds |
|
catalytic converter |
|
muffler |
|
tail pipe |
The cast iron exhaust manifolds collect engine exhaust gas from multiple cylinder exhaust valves and deliver it to the exhaust pipe. Exhaust manifolds can be generic or specially tuned (header pipes) to the engine. Header pipes deliver higher performance but are more expensive and less durable.
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:
fuel manifold |
|
electric fuel pump |
|
fuel rail |
|
fuel filter |
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.
