← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when fuel injectors in a diesel engine experience delayed needle closing during cutoff?
A)Increased particulate matter emissions✓
B)Reduced engine power output
C)Elevated cylinder head temperatures
D)Decreased fuel consumption efficiency
💡 Explanation
When diesel fuel injectors fail to snap shut rapidly, after-injection occurs because atomized fuel continues entering when it's not needed, leading to incomplete combustion. Therefore particulate matter increases due to inadequate air mixing during this late combustion phase, as opposed to power reduction, high temperature or improved consumption, which stem from distinct malfunctions.
