Understanding Intake Systems and Components

Front

What is the primary function of an air filter in an intake system?

Back

To remove contaminants from incoming air.

Front

What happens when an air filter is clogged?

Back

It restricts airflow, causing rich fuel mixtures and poor fuel economy.

Front

What is the role of the intake manifold in an engine?

Back

It distributes the air-fuel mixture to the engine cylinders.

Front

How does a cracked intake manifold affect engine performance?

Back

It can increase fuel pressure and lead to poor combustion.

Front

What is the effect of a leaking fuel injector?

Back

It causes a lean mixture, leading to misfires and rough engine running.

Front

What modification can increase engine power at high RPM?

Back

Using shorter, wider intake runners to reduce air resistance and increase airflow.

Front

What is a turbocharged intake system?

Back

An intake system that uses a turbocharger to force more air into the engine, increasing power.

Front

What is the impact of clogged fuel injectors on engine performance?

Back

They reduce fuel delivery, causing a lean mixture and misfires.

Front

What is the purpose of throttle body in an intake system?

Back

It controls the amount of air entering the engine.

Front

What is the relationship between air intake and fuel mixture?

Back

Proper air intake is essential for achieving the correct air-fuel mixture for combustion.
