|---|---|
11. Which of these is least-likely to cause a rich fuel condition: A A leaking fuel injector. B A faulty fuel pressure regulator. C A faulty ECT engine coolant temperature sensor. D A stuck closed thermostat. |
16. Technician A says a stuck open PCV valve will cause a lean fuel condition. Technician B says the PCV system removes blowby gases from the crankcase. Who is correct? A Technician A B Technician B C Both Technician A and B D Neither Technician A or B |
12. Technician A says the heater circuit in an oxygen sensor is designed to bring the sensor to operating temperature sooner. Technician B says the engine control module uses the oxygen sensors voltage signal to adjust fuel trim in closed loop. Who is correct? A Technician A B Technician B C Both Technician A and B D Neither Technician A or B |
17. Technician A says the crankshaft position sensor monitors the crankshafts speed and rotation. Technician B says a permanent magnet sensor has three wires. Who is correct? A Technician A B Technician B C Both Technician A and B D Neither Technician A or B |
13. Two technicians are discussing a turbocharged engine. Technician A says the wastegate is a component used to control boost pressure. Technician B says when opened the wastegate diverts exhaust gas from the turbine wheel. Who is correct? A Technician A B Technician B C Both Technician A and B D Neither Technician A or B |
18. Technician A says a defective evaporative purge valve may cause a rich air fuel ratio. Technician B says an evaporative pressure sensor is used to notify the PCM of gas tank pressure. Who is correct? A Technician A B Technician B C Both Technician A and B D Neither Technician A or B |
14. An emission test on a six cylinder engine indicates high levels of NOx. The most likely cause of this condition is: A A rich air fuel mixture. B A clogged catalytic converter. C A cylinder misfire. D A stuck closed EGR valve. |
19. A cylinder power balance test is being performed on a four cylinder engine. A spark plug wire is removed from its corresponding spark plug and a slight drop in RPM is noticed. A This is normal. B A significant drop should be indicated. C There should be no drop at all. D There is no such thing as an engine cylinder power balance test. |
15. Technician A says to perform a voltage drop test if a corroded ground connection is suspected. Technician B says to perform a voltage drop test if excessive resistance in the circuit is suspected. Who is correct? A Technician A B Technician B C Both Technician A and B D Neither Technician A or B |
20.
A Burned exhaust valves. B Weak piston rings. C A faulty head gasket. D Retarded valve timing. |
