← TechnologyWhich risk increases when internal combustion engine misfires consistently in one cylinder?
A)Crankshaft torsional resonance amplification✓
B)Catalytic converter overheating from rich fueling
C)Coolant boiling from uneven cylinder temperatures
D)Fuel pump cavitation due to increased demand
💡 Explanation
When one cylinder misfires, the unbalanced combustion introduces strong pulsed torques because the power stroke lacks damping, exciting torsional resonance in the crankshaft which can lead to fatigue failure at stress concentration points. Therefore crankshaft torsional resonance amplifies, rather than catalytic converter issues, coolant issues, or fuel pump issues.
