Question
Technology

Which risk increases most when the piezoelectric injector in a gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine experiences coil degradation?

A)Increased unburnt hydrocarbon emissions
B)Pre-ignition within the combustion chamber
C)Elevated nitrous oxide formation
D)Turbocharger over-speeding problems

💡 Explanation

Increased unburnt hydrocarbon emissions rise because piezoelectric injector coil degradation affects fuel atomization via reduced voltage control. Therefore, larger fuel droplets combust incompletely, rather than achieving optimal air-fuel mixture distribution under all engine loads, leading to hydrocarbon emissions.
