To replace a spark plug, simply open the hood and loosen it using a plug spanner.

1. Power steering liquid reservoir
   Speaker
2. Air filter for the cabin

The air entering the cabin through the climate control system is first filtered to help remove any particles and impurities. The air filter which does this is often found behind the glove box.

1. Ask the driver to explain the problems experienced.
   Pop the hood and look around the engine.
2. Take the vehicle for a road test until it breaks down.
   Take the engine apart.

Always ask the driver as to what he/she has experienced while driving the vehicle and exactly why they have brought it in.

1. Fuel filter
   Oil filter
2. Fuel injection jets
   Spark plugs

As the dirty oil has been running through the car's oil filter, a brand new one should be installed when an oil change is made.

1. Radiator
   Oil filter
2. Fuel filter
   Oil sump

Gasoline passes through the fuel filter in your vehicle before it is burnt with the air mixture. This removes impurities that may prevent the engine from running at its optimal level.

1. Shock absorber
   Drum
2. Brake pad
   Axle

The shock absorber helps to absorb the bumps as your vehicle travels on a road, making the ride more comfortable

1. Shock absorber
   Double wishbone
2. Strut
   Brake pads

Often the first part of a braking system to be replaced, the brake pads wear down as they are brought into contact with the brake disc when the brakes are applied to slow a car down.

1. Manifold
   Camshaft
2. Inlet valve
   Fuel injector

The exhaust manifold is the link between the engine and the exhaust system which ends in the tailpipe.

1. Collect gases left over from the combustion process from all cylinders and send them down the exhaust pipe
   Aid the combustion process
2. Push fuel and air into the cylinder
   None of the above

The manifold is connected to all cylinders to allow the gases produced in the combustion process to escape out of the engine, down the exhaust and out the tailpipe.

1. If the steering wheel is tight
   If the tire has tread
2. The alignment of the wheels
   None of the above

If the wheel alignment of a vehicle is out, it will pull to one side. If not fixed, the tires will wear unevenly.

1. Water in the brake system
   Air in the brake system
2. Fuel in the brake system
   Oil in the brake system

A spongy brake pedal means only one thing - air in the brake system.

1. Power steering fluid level
   The steering wheel is tightened properly
2. The steering rack
   None of the above

The power steering system is a hydraulic system that requires the correct level of power steering fluid. If this is low, the power steering on your vehicle might stop working altogether.

1. Wheel nut
   Rim
2. Brake pad
   Brake disk

When the brake is applied, brake pads will push onto the brake disk which, in turn, slows the turning wheels of a car.

1. Strut
   Shock absorber
2. Double wishbone
   Axle

A strut forms part of the suspension. Like a shock absorber, it helps to make the ride smoother.

1. 1 inch
   2 inches
2. 2/32 of an inch
   3 inches

Most states in the America require a tire tread of no less than 2/32 of an inch. Anything less is in violation of the law.

1. Dirty battery terminal posts
   A faulty high tension lead
2. No gas in the tank
   A broken oil filter

Car maintenance is an ongoing thing. If owners do not look after their vehicles, things like dirty battery terminals can wreak havoc.

1. Fuel pump
   Oil sump
2. Distributor
   Alternator

The alternator is failing and not generating enough power for the electrical systems in your car. If you notice a burning smell, then this is definitely the problem.

1. A fuel filter that is clogged and needs replacing
   A broken clutch cable
2. A problem with the air conditioning system
   None of the above

A common reason for a misfiring engine is a clogged fuel filter. Replacing the filter should correct the problem.

1. The alternator
   Spark plug failure
2. Clogged fuel injector
   None of the above

The most likely cause of the problem is a clogged fuel injector, especially since the check engine light is not on.

1. Someone put diesel in the gas tank.
   It is running too rich and not all the fuel is been burned.
2. The radiator is leaking.
   The alternator is broken.

When a car runs too rich, too much fuel is pumped in with air and not all of it is burned during combustion. This causes black smoke to come out of the exhaust.

1. Fuel injector
   Glowplug
2. Cambelt
   Connecting rod

Glowplugs are used in the startup process of a diesel-powered car. They get hot, heating the engine to help it start easier.

1. The clutch cable
   The clutch plate
2. Transmission fluid levels
   None of the above

Sometimes, a car might simply run low on transmission fluid and that can cause all kinds of gearbox problems.

1. Every 1,000 miles
   Every 2,000 miles
2. Every 4,000 miles
   Every 6,000 to 8,000 miles

Tires should be rotated very 6,000 to 8,000 miles. This helps to get the maximum effect out of them.

1. Crankshaft
   Radiator
2. Fan belt
   None of the above

A crankshaft is essential in starting the rotational motion that will drive the driveshaft, axle and then the wheels.

1. 100 V
   12.6 V
2. 9 V
   1.1 V

A car battery should be 12.6 V when fully charged.

1. The number of weeks and days for which the oil is good
   The viscosity levels at summer and winter temperatures
2. How much it costs
   None of the above

You need to put the right viscosity oil in your vehicle. If unsure, check with the manufacturer.

1. Coolant
   Oil
2. Power steering fluid
   Brake fluid

Having coolant in your car is very important. This is released into the engine to keep it running at the proper temperature so it doesn't overheat.

1. Oil cap
   Exhaust manifold
2. Distributor cap
   None of the above

This protects the internal parts of the distributor.

1. FIre switch
   Engine control module
2. Spark plug timer
   Boom switch

To keep engines running as efficiently as possible, a computer, called the engine control module, ensures the park plugs fire at the perfect time.

1. Crankshaft
   Connecting rod
2. Kingpin
   Piston

Pistons are the very heart of an engine. Without them, it simply won't run.

1. Intake, compression, power, exhaust
   Compression, intake, power, exhaust
2. Power, Intake, compression, exhaust
   None of the above

Intake brings the air/fuel mix into the combustion chamber, where it is compressed and combusts, providing power. The exhaust gases are then removed.

1. Gasoline
   Diesel
2. Bio-fuel
   They all generate the same amount

Diesel is the propellant that generates more torque than any other.

   None of the above

The timing belt helps to ensure that the valves open and close in time with the movement of the pistons.

1. Exhaust valve
   Intake valve
2. Connecting valve
   Pushing valve

The exhaust valve is important because it allows the gases formed during combustion out of the engine.

1. Exhaust valve
   Pushing valve
2. Intake valve
   Connecting valve

This valve lets air into the engine, where it is burned with fuel.

1. Oil level
   If the thermostat is working
2. Hoses
