Which outcome results when internal combustion engine compression ratio increases beyond fuel's autoignition limit?

💡 Explanation

When compression ratio exceeds the fuel's autoignition temperature, the air-fuel mixture ignites before spark, causing engine knock because the uncontrolled combustion generates pressure waves that collide with the piston. Therefore, engine knock results, rather than misfire, higher NOx, or reduced efficiency which involve alternative combustion issues.
