← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a gasoline engine's turbocharger undergoes sustained high-RPM operation under lean combustion conditions?
A)Exhaust valve pre-ignition occurs rapidly✓
B)Catalytic converter efficiency greatly increases
C)EGT sensor readings decline steeply
D)Engine emits less unburnt hydrocarbons
💡 Explanation
High exhaust temperatures lead to exhaust valve pre-ignition because insufficient fuel cools the valves, causing the valve material to overheat and ignite the next cycle's air-fuel mixture prematurely. Therefore, pre-ignition may become catastrophic, rather than reduced emissions which demand lower temps.
