← ScienceWhich risk increases when direct injection gasoline engine compression ratio exceeds limits?
A)Pre-ignition from hot combustion gasses✓
B)Bearing wear from imbalanced crankshaft
C)Catalytic converter failure from sulfur
D)Fuel pump damage from vapor lock
💡 Explanation
When compression exceeds limits, higher temperatures result because compressing the gasses increases their thermal energy leading to pre-ignition (knocking) as combustion gasses prematurely ignite the fuel-air mixture. Therefore pre-ignition results, rather than other failure modes such as bearing wear, converter failure, or fuel pump damage which originate from different conditions.
