b. Technician B
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B
Technician A says that air-fuel ratios can be regulated by controlling the “on time” of the injectors. Technician B says that the air-fuel ratio can be regulated by controlling the pressure applied to the individual injectors. Who is correct?
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?

- an engine is being discussed for lean running condition. technician A checks for air leak in the intake. Technician B checks for alcohol in the fuel. who is correct?arrow_forwardWhen performing an engine oil level check, if additional oil is needed, estimate the amount by checking the emissions standards guide to the dipstick markings. Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardTechnician A says that if the oil pressure shows low on the vehicle's gauge, engine oil pressure should be verified using a manual test gauge. Technician B says that if a vehicle's oil pressure gauge reads too high, engine oil pressure should be verified using a manual test gauge. Who is correct? Select one: a. Technician A b.

- While discussing the MIL on OBD II systems: Technician A says that the MIL will flash if the PCM detects a fault that would damage the catalytic converter. Technician B says that whenever the PCM has detected a fault, it will turn on the MIL. Who is correct? a. Technician A • Technician B • Both A and B • Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that black exhaust smoke is an indication of a too-rich air-fuel mixture. Technician B says that white smoke (steam) is an indication of coolant being burned in the engine.arrow_forwardWhile discussing returnless fuel systems: Technician A says that in a returnless fuel system the pressure regulator is mounted on the fuel rail.

- Which of the following statements about carbondioxide is not true?a. CO2 levels are highest when the air-fuel ratiois slightly leaner than stoichiometric.b. The production of CO2 is directly related tothe amount of fuel consumed; therefore,more fuel-efficient engines produce less CO2c. To reduce CO2 levels in the exhaust, engineers are working hard to decrease fuel consumption to keep CO2low.d. The concern for CO2 emissions is one of theprimary reasons for the delayed use of alternative fuels for automobiles.arrow_forwardTechnician A says that when draining the engine oil, the engine should be fully cold for best results. Technician B says that the engine should be running when checking the engine oil level. Who is correct? Select one: a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward1. The purpose of running this injector balance test is to determine which injector is restricted, inoperative, or delivering fuel differently than the other injectors. Replacing a complete set of injectors can be expensive. a. Describe the step involve in conducting injector balance test. b. Based on the recorded data on the power balance test in Table 1. Explain the condition on each injector. Table 1 Data collected from power balance test. Injector 1 2 3 Initial pressure (psi) 45 45 45 Second pressure 32 36 25 (psi)arrow_forward
