← TechnologyWhich risk increases when direct fuel injectors experience excessive carbon buildup on the nozzle in gasoline engine?
A)Detonation from uneven fuel distribution✓
B)Pre-ignition from glowing carbon deposits
C)Hydraulic lock from increased injection pressure
D)Cylinder wall scoring thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
When carbon buildup occurs, the spray pattern from the injector becomes inconsistent because partial blockage disrupts the homogeneous air-fuel mixture, leading to localized lean pockets and hot spots that promote detonation. Therefore detonation is the increased risk, rather than pre-ignition, hydraulic lock, or cylinder wall scoring which involve different mechanisms.
