← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs in a turbocharged gasoline engine when fuel injectors deliver insufficient fuel despite high airflow?
A)Engine knock from pre-ignition✓
B)Excessive black smoke expulsion
C)Catalytic converter overheating
D)Reduced turbocharger lifespan
💡 Explanation
When fuel injectors under supply fuel in a turbocharged engine, the air-fuel mixture becomes excessively lean, promoting auto-ignition and engine knock because the high temperatures & pressures prematurely ignite the mixture. Therefore engine knock results, rather than black smoke, converter overheat or turbo failure, which are typical of rich mixtures or mechanical faults.
