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?
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 |
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.
The intake ports on the cylinder heads is fed outside air via the:
intake manifold |
|
intake control module |
|
intake pressure regulator |
|
intake air pump |
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.
The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to:
outside air |
|
cylinder heads |
|
thermostat |
|
engine block |
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.
Which of the following is not a function of antifreeze?
aids heat transfer |
|
keeps water from freezing at low temperatures |
|
lubricates the cooling system |
|
raises the boiling point of water |
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.
What provides the power necessary to start a car?
alternator |
|
powertrain control module |
|
battery |
|
spark plugs |
The battery supplies the power necessary to start the engine when the ignition switch is is turned on.
