Which outcome occurs when variable valve timing fails during cold engine start?

A)Increased unburned fuel emissions
B)Decreased catalytic converter efficiency
C)Elevated exhaust back pressure
D)Reduced pumping losses noticeably

💡 Explanation

Increased unburned fuel occurs because optimized combustion through variable valve timing is lost, hindering complete fuel oxidation within the cylinders; therefore increased hydrocarbon emissions occur, rather than effects on catalyst, back pressure, or pumping, because unburnt vapours remain in exhaust.
