Question

After you clean an engine with hot water spray, it seems to stall; when it doesn't stall, it's idling noisily. Technician A says to check for loose bolts on the flex plate near the torque converter. Technician B says to wipe down the spark plug wires and the distributor cap. Who is correct? A. Technician A B. Both Technicians A and B C. Technician B

Answer 1

Technician A is correct. Loose bolts on the flex plate near the torque converter can cause an engine to stall or idle noisily after being cleaned with hot water spray.

Step-by-step explanation:

Technician A is correct. When an engine stalls or idles noisily after being cleaned with hot water spray, it is likely due to loose bolts on the flex plate near the torque converter. These loose bolts can cause the engine to lose proper alignment and result in stalling or noisy idling.

Technician B's suggestion to wipe down the spark plug wires and the distributor cap is not applicable in this situation. While it is important to keep these components clean for proper engine performance, they wouldn't directly address the issue of stalling or noisy idling after cleaning with hot water spray.

Answer 2

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an engine is cleaned by cold water, it accumulates over the spark plug wire and which makes the engine starts to stalls.

While when an engine is cleaned by hot water it doesn't accumulate over spark plug wire and hence does not stalls but it can make some noise.

Hence according to the scenario, the most appropriate answer is option (A).
