← ScienceWhich outcome occurs inside internal combustion engine cylinders with excessive carbon buildup?
A)Pre-ignition due to hot spots✓
B)Increased exhaust gas recirculation
C)Reduced valve overlap duration
D)Lowered compression ratios
💡 Explanation
When carbon builds up excessively, its insulating properties causes hotspots leading to pre-ignition, wherein the fuel mixture ignites before the spark plug fires. Therefore, pre-ignition results rather than increased EGR, or altered valve timing parameters, each caused via separate mechanisms.
