I didnt get a chance to finish so I dont have a score, but it is a pretty fun test so far.

Yep... saw that earlier. 88%.
still below the 85% averagelets see how bad i fail with my mechanically challenged self

94% I was never able to figure out which 3 questions I missed.
It was the three you got wrong.Originally Posted by HudsonHawk

And you wonder why you only got 82%.It was the three you got wrong.
I missed the one about the na motor and how air gets in. I always thought it was suction.
Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...
50 questions about which way gears will turn? No thanks.
There is a review answers link at the end.
+1
So are you saying it's not suction? Then why is it "suck, squish, bang, blow"?

I didn't see the review answers link. I voted for suction also.
On the track, I am fearless.

I believe the review link was a little icon along the top. According to the review, the correct answer was atmospheric pressure.
Yeah the force isnt actually caused by the vacuum, it is the higher atmospheric pressure that actually causes the force.
I got exactly 80%

The suction/atmospheric pressure question got me, too, since vacuum and pressure are relative to each other. Fluids generally from higher pressure (atmospheric pressure in this case) to lower pressure (caused by the piston descending in the cylinder, lowering the pressure in the cylinder in this case).
My train of thought was that without the suction/vaccuum (relatively lower atmospheric pressure) in the cylinder, the ambient atmospheric pressure would not be able to force more air into the cylinder. If the engine was FI instead of NA, the air could be forced into the cylinder even if the cylinder was at or above atmospheric pressure, but since they specified NA, the pressure in the cylinder has to be lower than atmospheric pressure (or, stated another way, there has to be a relative vaccuum, or suction,) for air to flow in through the intake valve.
Got a 96%/480. Also missed the "which is more easily ignited" question.
