Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The 3100 and 3400 engines used in GM's front wheel drive lineup have 2 common locations for leaking coolant. Where are they?

Answer: lower intake gaskets and head gaskets

The Gen II V6's used in GM N,W,U and X bodies (3100 and 3400) had no loctite on the lower intake bolts from factory and gaskets made of a lesser quality which caused clamping force to release and bolts to back out. In 2001, GM released updated gaskets and bolts to correct this problem.

2. What is the most common windshield wiper malfunction on a U or X van?

Answer: wiper crank arm losing its home position

It is common for the park tab to bend letting the crank arm park paul to bypass and park the windshield wipers high on the glass.

3. Exhaust back pressure of more than 3 PSI at 1500RPM is excessive.

Answer: True

High exhaust back pressure is most commonly caused by a plugged or melted catalytic converter which is normally the result of an overly rich or lean exhaust.

4. A "check engine" light will only come on for emission related problems.
