Which outcome occurs when the fuel injector in a modern diesel engine experiences needle valve sticking?

A)Increased NOx emissions from oxygen-rich regions
B)Reduced engine power linked to misfire events
C)Elevated engine oil viscosity from mixture dilution
D)Decreased particulate matter because of better atomization

💡 Explanation

When the injector valve sticks closed, incomplete combustion occurs because less fuel is delivered into the cylinder due to diminished spray effectiveness impacting homogeneous vapor generation, creating oxygen-rich uncombusted regions. Therefore, increased NOx emissions result, rather than power loss, dilution, or particulate reductions which require different injection dynamics.
