Which outcome occurs when a gasoline direct injector nozzle experiences localized overheating due to carbon deposit buildup?

💡 Explanation

When injector nozzle overheats, autoignition temperature is reached because carbon acts as an insulator, triggering uncontrolled pre-ignition of fuel-air mixture before the spark. Therefore pre-ignition results, rather than pump cavitation, reduced valve overlap, or oil dilution which originate from different engine issues.
