Ignition System Knowledge Assessment

The document contains multiple choice questions about ignition components and systems. It asks about the component that steps up voltage in an ignition system, the effects of spark plug gap size, how a spark is created in a coil, ignition timing for cruising conditions, whether an inductive pulse generator produces output when the engine is stopped or running, how a Hall effect pulse generator's output is affected by engine running status, the purpose of a pulse shaper and Schmitt trigger in ignition systems, what a "Limp Home" system does if a fault develops, what type of spark plug is suitable for a "hot running" engine, and how a MAP sensor typically converts pressure changes.

3 Multiple choice questions

 The ignition component that steps up voltage is the:

1. capacitor
2. condenser
3. coil
4. king lead

 Setting spark plug gaps too wide will cause running


problems because the firing voltage will:

1. increase and the spark duration will decrease


2. increase and the spark duration will increase
3. decrease and the spark duration will increase
4. decrease and the spark duration will decrease

 A spark is created as the coil primary winding is:

1. switched on
2. switched off
3. charged
4. stabilized

 Cruising conditions require the ignition timing to be:

1. retarded
2. reversed
3. allocated
4. advanced

 An inductive pulse generator in an ignition distributor will NOT produce an


output voltage when the engine is:

1. running
2. cranking
3. stopped
4. over revving

 With the ignition switched on, a Hall effect pulse generator in an ignition
distributor will produce anoutput voltage when the:

1. engine is running
2. engine is cranking
3. Hall chip is shielded
4. Hall chip is not shielded
 Technician A says a pulse shaper is used to shape the AC output from a pulse
generator to a square wave pattern. Technician B says a Schmitt trigger is used
to shape the AC output from a pulse generator to a square wave pattern. Who is
right?

1. A only
2. B only
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B

 A vehicle fitted with a system known as ‘Limp Home’ means that if a fault
develops:

1. and you are in an ambulance, it is what you have


to do if it breaks down …
2. the engine management system switches to just
enough engine cylinders to keep you going
3. the driver will not even notice and the vehicle
will keep going as normal
4. the engine management system switches in preset
values to keep the vehicle driveable

 A ‘hot running’ engine must be fitted with a:

1. hot spark plug


2. cold spark plug
3. taper seat spark plug
4. washer seat spark plug

 Changes in pressure to a MAP sensor are converted in many cases to a:

1. variable voltage output


2. variable current output
3. steady state reading
4. steady waveform reading
