Which risk increases when fuel injector nozzles coking in a modern gasoline direct injection engine?

💡 Explanation

When fuel injector nozzles coke due to high temperatures, the fuel spray pattern becomes uneven because the deposits restrict fuel flow, promoting lean combustion spots and elevated combustion temperatures, thereby increasing engine knock probability. Therefore increased engine knocking results, rather than other effects dependent on different failure modes.
