Can occasional stalling damage the engine?
1 Answers
Yes. Stalling generates a recoil force, and if it occurs too frequently, it may damage relatively fragile components of the engine such as the camshaft and piston connecting rod. Additional information about cars is as follows: 1. Air Conditioning: After stalling, avoid keeping the air conditioning on because when the vehicle restarts, it will start with the air conditioning, resulting in a high instantaneous load on the vehicle. Over time, this can damage the battery. Continuing to use electrical devices after stalling significantly impacts the battery. The power consumption of in-car electrical devices is relatively high, and the battery's charge can deplete rapidly. Prolonged use may even prevent the car from starting. 2. Listening to Music: Prolonged music playback after stalling can also harm the battery by increasing the load. After stalling, the car stereo relies on the battery for power since the engine stops generating electricity. Extended music playback while the engine is off will undoubtedly shorten the battery's lifespan. 3. External Devices: Not unplugging external devices from the power outlet after stalling. Many car owners, for convenience, frequently connect various devices to the power outlet, such as GPS, dash cams, and air purifiers. Some car models' power outlets remain active even after stalling. If external devices are not unplugged, they will continue to drain the battery, causing wear and tear.
