Since the ban of my favorite app, I may as well start posting these gems here!

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

What is this tool, and how do you use it??

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

https://t.co/9Go7Xv3x8a good read for A4, Steering & Suspension!

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

Hey all! I know I've been slackin' on my Qs the last few months, but hey! Hopefully @ASEtests can make it up to you!! Check it out - they are giving away a free practice test to everyone who wants one! Check the screenshot! 😀👍🏻

If you had a "Skip Shift" system on your manual transmission car, would you remove it, or do you think you'd keep it?

(Note: if you don't know about this "feature" you should look it up for the sake of passing your ASE tests!!😉)

1: Two techs are discussing a vehicle with a severely slipping automatic transmission. Tech A says a slipping stater one way clutch could be the cause. Tech B says a stuck open pressure regulator valve could be the cause. Who is correct?
A: A only
B: B only
C: Both
D: Neither

Here's a great article to check out for those studying for ASE tests!!

Answers In order from the beginning to the end of this week:
1: C
2: A: while less than 10% leakage is desired, less than 20% leakage is acceptable. 30% leakage will cause drivability concerns, & 50% leakage is usually accompanied by a misfire or major oil consumption.

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

2: A technician is performing a leakdown test on a cold engine. An acceptable reading for cylinder leakage is:
A. All cylinders less than 20%
B. All cylinders above 30% leakage
C. All cylinders at 50% leakage
D. All cylinders above 20% leakage

1: Which of the following is a symptom associated with a timing belt that is too tight?
A: Slapping sound
B: Whirring sound
C: Whining sound
D: No sound, but decreased engine performance

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

I guessed B, anyone else?!
ASE's page never gives answers so I don't really like to give their questions much love on here. I don't think it's super helpful since often ASE doesn't align with reality, and we use these questions as a chance to get into the ASE writer's brains...

[ASE @ASEtests]

During operation, a transit bus has a puffing noise coming from the engine compartment. Which of these could be the cause?

A: Faulty water pump
B: Leaking exhaust manifold gasket
C: Leaking air intake
D: Faulty low-pressure fuel regulator

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

@ASEtests B

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

...on an engine power and does not cause low intake manifold vacuum.
3. B: A loose timing belt will cause a flapping sound near the front of the engine.
4. B: Piston slap.

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

Answers in order from the beginning to the end of this week:
1. D: neither. Carbon monoxide (CO) readings are high when the air fuel ratio is rich; cylinder misfiring causes high hydrocarbon (HC) readings but lower CO readings.
2. D: an inop. EGR valve has very little effect...

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

3. Two technicians are discussing a flapping sound near the front of a running engine. Tech A says that the
drive belt tension is too tight. Tech B says that the timing belt tension is too loose. Who is correct?
A: A only
B: B only
C: Both
D: Neither

[ASE @ASEtests]

Technician A says that main bearing oil clearance can be checked with plastigage.
Technician B says that main bearing oil clearance can be checked with a feeler gauge.

Who is right?

A: A only
B: B only
C: Both A and B
D: Neither A nor B

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

2. The least likely cause of very low intake manifold vacuum, and an engine's power loss under load would be a(n):
A: Lean air fuel ratio
B: Intake manifold leak
C: Eestricted exhaust
D: Inoperative EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

1: Two techs are discussing exhaust gas readings. Tech A says that high carbon monoxide (CO) readings can indicate a lean air fuel ratio. Tech B says that high CO readings may be caused by engine misfiring. Who is correct?
A: A only
B: B only
C: Both
D: Neither

[Faye Hadley @SupraFaye]

Answers, in order from the beginning of this week to the end of this week:
1) A is correct for being most likely - B is incorrect because low oil level would turn on more than just one warning light or DTC if it got to that point of low!
2) B, two.
3) C, 1.5 times

Who was 3/3?!
