A discussion concerning CV joint testing is being held.
Technician A says that a recommended method to check CV joints is to raise the vehícle so that the lower control arms are hanging freely; at this point the engine can be
accelerated while noise checks can be performed.
Technician B says that the vehicle should be road tested so that the CV joints can be checked under load.
Who is correct?
O a. A only
O b. B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B
Carbon deposits on the intake valve or seat may cause the valve not to close properly. Tech a says that the flywheel will be harder to spin when starting the engine. Tech b says that the engine will loose power. Who is correct?

Technician B says that the left outer CV joint may be causing the noise.
Who is correct?
O a. A only
Ob.B only
O c. Both A and B
