What is the purpose of a spark plug in a gasoline engine?

  1. To ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber

  2. To regulate the flow of fuel into the engine

  3. To cool the engine

  4. To reduce emissions


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The spark plug is responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, initiating the combustion process that powers the engine.

Which of the following is a common symptom of a faulty oxygen sensor?

  1. Increased fuel consumption

  2. Rough idling

  3. Check engine light illumination

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A faulty oxygen sensor can cause a variety of symptoms, including increased fuel consumption, rough idling, and illumination of the check engine light. These symptoms are all indicators that the oxygen sensor is not functioning properly and needs to be replaced.

What is the primary function of a catalytic converter in a vehicle?

  1. To reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust system

  2. To improve engine performance

  3. To increase fuel efficiency

  4. To reduce noise and vibration


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of a catalytic converter is to reduce harmful emissions, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, from the exhaust system of a vehicle. It converts these pollutants into less harmful substances before they are released into the atmosphere.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of brake fluid?

  1. DOT 3

  2. DOT 4

  3. DOT 5

  4. Mineral oil


Correct Option: D

What is the purpose of a timing belt in an engine?

  1. To synchronize the movement of the crankshaft and camshaft

  2. To regulate the flow of fuel into the engine

  3. To cool the engine

  4. To reduce emissions


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The timing belt is responsible for synchronizing the movement of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that the valves open and close at the correct times during the engine cycle.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of transmission?

  1. Manual transmission

  2. Automatic transmission

  3. Continuously variable transmission (CVT)

  4. Dual-clutch transmission (DCT)


Correct Option:
Explanation:

DCT is not a common type of transmission. Manual transmission, automatic transmission, and CVT are all more common types of transmissions found in vehicles.

What is the primary function of a radiator in a vehicle?

  1. To cool the engine coolant

  2. To regulate the temperature of the transmission

  3. To improve fuel efficiency

  4. To reduce noise and vibration


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of a radiator is to cool the engine coolant, which in turn helps regulate the temperature of the engine and prevents overheating.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of tire?

  1. All-season tires

  2. Summer tires

  3. Winter tires

  4. Run-flat tires


Correct Option: D

What is the purpose of a suspension system in a vehicle?

  1. To absorb shocks and vibrations from the road

  2. To improve handling and stability

  3. To increase fuel efficiency

  4. To reduce noise and vibration


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of a suspension system is to absorb shocks and vibrations from the road, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride for passengers.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of fuel injector?

  1. Port fuel injector

  2. Direct fuel injector

  3. Throttle body injector

  4. Spider injector


Correct Option: D
