TRS Weekend Quizzes

[reno]

I asked Jim a few days ago to hold the Answer key to these, but have not heard from him as of yet, Perhaps Makg might want to do the Honors?. I figured I would post these quizzes,you answer to the best of your ability,then in a couple of days, I will post the answers and move on to the next chapter. If I can figure out how to break this pdf file down,then i will post the current chapter we just had a pop quiz to in a zip file for you to read, this way you will know where your own weak points are and know what to mainly read on. This is why i decided not to post the chapter to read first.
This is a Cut & Paste....no Alterations what so ever.

corresponding to a piston at
the top of its stroke
d. the distance between
headlights

2. The distributor is
a. a rotary switch that connects
the ignition coil to the various
spark plugs
b. a system for smoothing tire
load
c. a system that generates the
spark in the cylinders
d. a section of the drivetrain

3. The air–fuel ratio is
a. the rate at which combustible
products enter the engine
b. the ratio of the mass of air to
the mass of fuel in a cylinder
before ignition
c. the ratio of gasoline to air in
the exhaust pipe
d. intake air and fuel velocity
ratio

4. Ignition normally occurs
a. at BDC
b. at TDC
c. just after TDC
d. just before TDC

5. Most automobile engines are
a. large and heavy
b. gasoline-fueled, spark-ignited,
liquid-cooled internal
combustion type
c. unable to run at elevations
that are below sea level
d. able to operate with any fuel
other than gasoline

6. An exhaust valve is
a. a hole in the cylinder head
b. a mechanism for releasing the
combustion products from
the cylinder
c. the pipe connecting the
engine to the muffler
d. a small opening at the bottom
of a piston

7. Power is produced during
a. intake stroke
b. compression stroke
c. power stroke
d. exhaust stroke

8. The transmission
a. converts rotary to linear
motion
b. optimizes the transfer of
engine power to the drivetrain
c. has four forward speeds and
one reverse
d. automatically selects the
highest gear ratio

9. The suspension system
a. partially isolates the body of a
car from road vibrations
b. holds the wheels on the axles
c. suspends the driver and
passengers
d. consists of four springs

10. The camshaft
a. operates the intake and
exhaust valves
b. rotates at the same speed as
the crankshaft
c. has connecting rods attached
to it
d. opens and closes the breaker
points

11. An SI engine is
a. a type of internal combustion
engine
b. a Stirling engine
c. always fuel injected
d. none of the above

12. The intake system refers to
a. the carburetor
b. a set of tubes
c. a system of valves, pipes, and
throttle plates
d. the components of an engine
through which fuel and air are
supplied to the engine


Good Luck, Answer sheet will be given on Mon Morning....

Yo,
Do we answer these here on the thread?

 

[almostclueless]

Yawn......


If you want to challenge, ask questions like how inertia specifically affects the operation of an IC engine, or how an ignition coil really works, or why the oil pressure guage readings in a late model ford seem to prove that the reading is bogus, or why the PVH system was doomed unless ford spent too much money per vehicle building them.

there's my best shot....I'll recognize it as soon as someone else says it...but whats SI?

-andrew

 

[reno]

SI Engine:
Abbreviation for spark-ignited, gasoline-fueled, piston-type,
internal-combustion engine.

Hope that helps....

 

[wahlstrom1]

BAH.....I knew it was that simple, but I have an excuse, lol....I'm a compression ignition guy being an HD mech and all......DOH!

I'm still searching for another E-book for the Fords, even the Rangers mainly, can't find much. I figured this goes over the Electronics and so many ask questions on codes,Emissions,etc......, that it relates to electronics, and if ya understand it more, it just may help a lot of us.

I listed the chapters in this book, once done, I will rar or zip it up, and upload to a free downloading site for any one that wants it. I just don't want to ruin the tests for those that can benefit from it. There is no real right or wrong answers,this will just help you know where you are at, and where you should study more at.

If ya guys want, I can do this test once a day and get it over with quicker,just want to give everyone the same chance.

 

[reno]

Will post answers tomorrow morning, if you guys really don't want to do this, just say so.

 

[Jspafford]

I just thought it was going to be something a bunch of guys got together and made up questions.

Uploaded them onto a seperate page with radio button multiple choice answers, and then have it score the page when the user hits "submit" or "grade".
