Which outcome occurs when an internal combustion engine's fuel injector spray pattern is significantly distorted?

💡 Explanation

When the fuel injector sprays unevenly, incomplete combustion occurs because fuel and air are not mixing efficiently, leading to localized hot spots and increased formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Therefore higher NOx occurs, rather than oil pressure decreasing, coolant temp increasing, or crankshaft speed declining, which require different failure modes.
