Try 2 sample A9 questions
1. A diesel engine emits heavy black smoke under acceleration and has low power. Which is the MOST likely cause?
ES: Un motor diésel echa mucho humo negro al acelerar y tiene poca potencia. ¿Cuál es la causa MÁS probable?
- A) An open glow plug
- B) A boost leak at the charge air cooler
- C) Coolant in the combustion chamber
- D) A worn turbo oil seal
Show answer
Answer: B) A boost leak at the charge air cooler
Black smoke = too much fuel for the air. A boost leak reduces air.
2. A diesel cranks slowly and won't start on a cold morning. The batteries test weak. Why does slow cranking especially affect diesels?
ES: Un diésel da marcha lenta y no arranca en una mañana fría. Las baterías están débiles. ¿Por qué el arranque lento afecta especialmente al diésel?
- A) They need a spark at high RPM
- B) They need cranking speed to build compression heat for ignition
- C) The glow plugs need the starter to turn
- D) Rail pressure doesn't depend on cranking speed
Show answer
Answer: B) They need cranking speed to build compression heat for ignition
Slow cranking lets heat escape and builds less rail pressure; the fuel may not ignite.

1. Un motor diésel echa mucho humo negro al acelerar y tiene poca potencia. ¿Cuál es la causa MÁS probable?
EN: A diesel engine emits heavy black smoke under acceleration and has low power. Which is the MOST likely cause?
- A) Una bujía de precalentamiento abierta
- B) Una fuga de boost en el enfriador de aire de carga
- C) Refrigerante en la cámara de combustión
- D) Un sello de aceite del turbo gastado
Ver respuesta
Respuesta: B) Una fuga de boost en el enfriador de aire de carga
Humo negro = demasiado combustible para el aire. Una fuga de boost reduce el aire.
2. Un diésel da marcha lenta y no arranca en una mañana fría. Las baterías están débiles. ¿Por qué el arranque lento afecta especialmente al diésel?
EN: A diesel cranks slowly and won't start on a cold morning. The batteries test weak. Why does slow cranking especially affect diesels?
- A) Necesita chispa a altas RPM
- B) Necesita velocidad de arranque para generar calor de compresión y encender
- C) Las bujías necesitan que gire el motor de arranque
- D) La presión del riel no depende de la velocidad de arranque
Ver respuesta
Respuesta: B) Necesita velocidad de arranque para generar calor de compresión y encender
El arranque lento deja escapar calor y genera menos presión de riel; el combustible puede no encenderse.
