← TechnologyWhich instability increases when stratified fuel-air mixtures fluctuate in direct injection gasoline engines?
A)Increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions✓
B)Elevated exhaust valve temperature
C)Premature catalytic converter aging
D)Fuel injector nozzle fouling
💡 Explanation
Increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions occur due to incomplete combustion through charge stratification, because fuel accumulates unevenly and may not find sufficient oxygen locally for ignition through misfire. Therefore, UHC emissions increase, rather than increased temperature or aging, which typically relate to overall high load.
