The distributor is responsible for:
timing the spark and distributing it to the correct cylinder |
|
distributing power to the correct drive wheels |
|
recharging the battery |
|
utlizing battery power to start the engine |
The distributor is driven by the engine's camshaft and is responsible for timing the spark and distributing it to the correct cylinder. The distributor cap contains a rotor that connects the ignition coil (and its high voltage) to the proper cylinder at the proper point in the stroke cycle.
Which of the following is not a component in the engine lubrication system?
differential |
|
pickup tube |
|
oil filter |
|
pressure relief valve |
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.
What is the function of the alternator?
converts motion from the wheels into DC power |
|
replaces the electrical energy that the car draws from the battery |
|
provides AC power for the car's electrical components |
|
charges the battery when the car is not running |
An automobile's electrical system runs on DC power and the bulk of that power is supplied by the battery. The alternator converts the motion of the rotor into AC power which is then fed through the rectifier to convert it to DC power that both the car and the battery can use.
What function does a two-stroke cycle engine perform on the second stroke?
fuel intake and exhaust |
|
combustion and exhaust |
|
fuel intake and compression |
|
compression and combustion |
The two strokes of a two-stroke cycle engine are fuel intake and compression then combustion and exhaust.
Engines with radial cylinder configurations are most common in:
train engines |
|
heavy truck engines |
|
aircraft engines |
|
tank engines |
A radial arrangement places cylinders in a circle around the crankshaft and is used almost exclusively in aircraft engines.
