Which effect occurs when excessive fuel is injected during cold start of a gasoline engine?

A)Catalytic converter overheating from rich burn
B)Crankshaft bearing damage from thermal expansion
C)Valve float from increased combustion pressure
D)Injector clogging from fuel vapor deposition

💡 Explanation

When excessive fuel is injected during cold starts, incomplete combustion occurs because the engine isn't hot enough for efficient vaporization, leading to an over-rich mixture entering the catalytic converter, causing it to overheat. Therefore converter overheating results, rather than bearing damage, valve float or injector clogging, which require different failure modes.
