What are Nylon and steel?
100
The Secondary Ignition system component that is responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture within the combustion chamber.
What is a Spark Plug?
100
The name for the universal 16-pin connector that is used for On Board Diagnostic communication.
What is the Data Link Connector (DLC)?
100
The exhaust gas that indicates that a vehicle is running rich.
What is Carbon Monoxide (CO)?
100
A condition that will create large amounts of O2 and Hydrocarbons from being emitted from the exhaust.
What is a misfire?
200
A fuel injection system design that uses two large fuel injectors. The intake manifold in this design must flow both air and atomized fuel.
What is TBI?
200
The component that is responsible for delivering the voltage required to create the spark in an automotive engine.
What is The Ignition Coil?
200
The proper name for the the light on the instrument cluster that is illuminated when a vehicle's emissions have exceed 1.5 times the designed standard.
What is the Malfunction Indicator Lamp?
200
The exhaust gas that indicates that an engine is running lean.
What is O2?
200
The voltage range of a typical Heated Oxygen Sensor.
What is 0-1V?
300
A style of electronic fuel injection system that uses inputs from a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor in order to calculate engine load as well as the amount of fuel needed by the engine.
What is Speed Density?
300
An automotive ignition system design that delivers spark to two spark plugs at the same time, on companion cylinders.
What is Waste Spark?
300
A name for codes that are stored within the OBD2 computer that are used by the technician to identify the fault.
What is a DTC?
300
The exhaust gas that is created from excessive combustion heat.
What are Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)?
300
The reading of an Heated Oxygen sensor during a misfire.
What is low voltage (lean)?
400
A fuel injection system that locates the injectore within the combustion chamber, and operates on very high fuel pressure.
What is Gasoline Direct Injection?
400
A term used to describe when the air/fuel mixture is ignited before top dead center.
What is Advance?
400
The name for the electrical system that was designed to reduce the time taken to correct emissions related faults. This system was mandated by the United States for all cars sold during and after the 1996 model year.
What is On Board Diagnostics II (OBD2)?
400
The exhaust gas that indicates an engine's efficiency.
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
400
The emission system that reduces a vehicle's Hydrocarbon emissions.
What is the Evaporative Emissions system?
500
The name of the organic compound used in the majority of automotive engines. Commonly referred to as gasoline.
What is Hydrocarbon?
500
A component that converters a small amount of voltage to a large amount of voltage. An Automotive Ignition Coil is an example of one.
What is a Step Up Transformer?
500
The first car to come equipped from the factory with an Air Fuel Ratio Sensor.
What is 1992 Honda Civic VX?
500
The exhaust gas that will be present in the exhaust when combustion is incomplete.
What is Hydrocarbon (HC)?
500
The emission system that reduces Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx).
