Question
Technology

Which outcome occurs when a diesel engine's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) injects excessive fuel during cold startup?

A)Piston ring washing and oil dilution
B)Increased volumetric efficiency and power
C)Catalytic converter overheating and damage
D)Reduced particulate matter emissions overall

💡 Explanation

Piston ring washing happens because excess fuel dilutes the oil film lubricating the cylinder walls. Therefore, increased blow-by and possible engine damage occur, rather than improved engine performance, because the unburnt fuel bypasses the rings weakening lubrication.
