Can You Press the Accelerator in Neutral Gear?
1 Answers
You can press the accelerator in neutral gear. Here are some relevant details about pressing the accelerator in neutral: 1. No matter how much you press the accelerator in neutral, the car won't move. 2. When the car is in neutral, pressing the accelerator is equivalent to the engine idling. The transmission isn't engaged, so the car won't move no matter how hard you press the accelerator. 3. Briefly pressing the accelerator in neutral won't harm the engine, but it will definitely waste fuel. It's recommended not to do this frequently. 4. If you press the accelerator in neutral while the car is moving, it's less of an issue since the radiator provides better cooling during motion. 5. If you repeatedly press the accelerator in neutral while the car is stationary, the engine may overheat.
