← TechnologyWhich symptom indicates fuel injector pulse width increasing beyond design limits in a diesel engine?
A)Black smoke emmission from exhaust✓
B)Elevated coolant temperatures during idle
C)Increased vibration at low RPMs
D)Reduced engine braking effectiveness
💡 Explanation
When pulse width exceeds design limits, overfueling occurs because the injectors stay open longer, causing incomplete combustion, resulting in excessive particulate matter release in the exhaust. Therefore black smoke emission results, rather than overheating, vibrations, or reduced braking which occur due to different mechanical issues.
