- An engine overheats in traffic but is fine when driving: Technician A says a faulty thermostat may be the cause. Technician B says the fan clutch could be the cause. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile checking for conditions that might cause coolant electrolysis: Technician A places the positive lead of a voltmeter into the coolant and connects the negative lead to a ground. Technician B checks for the presence of voltage in the coolant with the ignition off. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile diagnosing an engine that overheats after frequent hard accelerations: Technician A checks for a collapsed lower radiator hose. Technician B checks the cooling fan electrical circuit. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says an engine may use one or more valve springs per valve. Technician B says additional valve springs are used to control vibration and increase total pressure. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following is not an effective way to determine if an engine has an internal coolant leak? Performing a pressure test on the system Visually inspecting the exhaust, coolant, and engine oil Using a dye penetrant and black light Using a combustion leak testerarrow_forwardWhile checking the condition of a cars ATF: Technician A says that if the fluid has a dark brownish or blackish color and/or a burned odor, the fluid has been overheated. Technician B says that if the fluid has a milky color, this indicates that engine coolant has been leaking into the transrnissions cooler. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- An engine starts and runs briefly after a small quantity of fuel is put into the spark plug hole, but it doesn't not start when fuel is added to the carburetor throat. Tech a says that the problem may be that the exhaust valve is not closing completely due to carbon buildup. Tech b says it may be due to a defective carburetor mounting gasket. Who is correct?arrow_forwardTechnician A uses sandpaper to remove carbon deposits from turbocharger wastegate parts. Technician B scrapes off heavy deposits before attempting to clean the unit. Who is correct?arrow_forwardTrue or False? The first step in removing an engine is usually the removal of the intake and exhaust manifolds.arrow_forward
- While conducting an engine vacuum test; Technician A says that a steady low vacuum reading can be caused by a burned intake valve. Technician B says that an overall low vacuum reading is caused by something that affects all of the engines cylinders. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, excessive pressure will develop in the crankcase and can cause oil leaks. Technician B says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, oil may be pushed into the air cleaner or cause it to be drawn into the intake manifold. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a true statement about thermostats? Faulty thermostats are often the cause of air pockets in the coolant passages. They can also cause an increase in fuel consumption and poor engine performance. If the thermostat is stuck open, the coolant may not reach the desired temperature because it is cooled before it gets hot If a thermostat is stuck closed, coolant will not flow between the engine and radiator and the engine will quickly overheatarrow_forward
