← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an internal combustion engine fuel injector's needle valve sticks in the open position?
A)Increased exhaust valve temperature
B)Reduced combustion chamber pressure
C)Uncontrolled fuel-air mixture enrichment✓
D)Premature catalytic converter failure
💡 Explanation
When a fuel injector needle valve sticks open, continuous unregulated fuel flow occurs because the metering normally controlled by the engine's control unit is bypassed, resulting in exceedingly rich fuel-air mixture. Therefore, uncontrolled fuel enrichment results, rather than increased temperatures, pressure drops or converter failures, which require distinct triggering faults.
