1.  Which of these is least-likely to cause a rich fuel condition:

A Leaking Fuel Injector

B Fuel Pressure Regulator

C Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

D Stuck Closed Thermostat

6.   Technician A says a stuck open PCV valve will cause a lean 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

2.   Technician A says the heater circuit in an oxygen sensor is designed to bring the sensor to operating temperature sooner. Technician B says the oxygen sensor senses oxygen in the exhaust when in closed loop.
Who is correct?

C Both Technician A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

7.   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

3.   Technician A says a stuck closed EGR (exhaust gas recirculating) valve will cause an engine to stumble or stall. Technician B says a stuck open EGR valve will cause an engine to ping.
Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technicain B

C Both Technician A and B
