cooling system problems

An engine can still operate for an extended period without a cooling system.

• True

• False

Test that checks for the presence of combustion gases in engine coolant.

 

• fuel pressure test

• combustion leak test 

• coolant pressure test

• road test

Tool used to measure the freezing point of the cooling system antifreeze solution. A coolant sample is pulled up into the clear scaled measuring reservoir and graded based on freezing point.

 

• cooling system hydrometer

• combustion leak tester

• cooling system pressure sensor

• tape measure

Test that uses low air pressure forced into a sealed vehicle liquid-cooling system to locate leaks.

• cooling system pressure test

• overcooling 

• overheating

• combustion tester

Cooling system problem that occurs when an engine operating temperature is too high, warning light is on, temperature gauge shows hot, or coolant and steam blow out of the overflow.

• overcooling

• overheating

• freeze plug

• combustion leak test

Hand-operated air pump used to pressurize the cooling system for leak detection.

• coolant pressure tester

• combustion tester

• test light

• bicycle pump

Cooling system problem that occurs when an engine fails to reach full operating temperature; causing poor or sluggish engine performance.

• overheating

• overcooling

• over steering

• thermostat
