Energy/power is not gained or lost going through a (ideal) transformer.

So the transformer in this problem really doesn't matter.  If the lamp is using energy at the rate of 60 watts, then the whole contraption is getting 60 watts of power from the wall outlet.

Power = (voltage) x (current)

60 watts = (120 v) x (current)

Current = (60 watts) / (120 v)

<em>Current = 0.5 Ampere</em>

Which would most likely cause the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating r
dusya [7]

Answer: Using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating.

Explanation:

Most likely, what causes the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating ranges is using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating. This can lead to detonation of the engine which is the tendency for the fuel to pre-ignite or auto-ignite in an engine's combustion chamber.The cylinder head and the engine oil are part of the automobile systems that helps in fuel combustion.
