1

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 rear suspension

your car has a rigid axle front suspension

your car has an independent front suspension

your car has an independent 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.


2

The intake ports on the cylinder heads is fed outside air via the:

67% Answer Correctly

intake manifold

intake control module

intake pressure regulator

intake air pump


Solution

The intake manifold distributes outside air to the intake ports on the cylinder heads. The intake air filter removes any airborne contaminants before the air enters the engine.


3

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

60% Answer Correctly

outside air

cylinder heads

thermostat

engine block


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.


4

Which of the following is not a function of antifreeze?

55% Answer Correctly

aids heat transfer

keeps water from freezing at low temperatures

lubricates the cooling system

raises the boiling point of water


Solution

Modern car engines are cooled by liquid which circulates through the engine block and cylinder heads absorbing excess heat. This liquid is made up of half water and half antifreeze (commonly, ethylene glycol) which both keeps the water from freezing at low temperatures and raises its boiling point making heat transfer more efficient.


5

What provides the power necessary to start a car?

86% Answer Correctly

alternator

powertrain control module

battery

spark plugs


Solution

The battery supplies the power necessary to start the engine when the ignition switch is is turned on.
