Which effect occurs when a turbocharger wastegate solenoid fails closed in an engine?

💡 Explanation

When a wastegate solenoid fails closed, the wastegate remains shut, leading to overboosting because exhaust gases are not diverted, increasing cylinder pressure and temperature, potentially causing engine knock. Therefore knock results, rather than changes in fuel/oil which are tied to direct injector control or viscosity changes.
