Can You Still Drive When the Engine Shows Insufficient Power?

[DiRhett]

It is possible to continue driving when the engine shows insufficient power, but it is recommended to identify the cause of the issue as soon as possible. Below are the common reasons for insufficient engine power: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the engine: Carbon deposits directly affect the engine, reducing its performance and power output. Therefore, it is important to clean carbon deposits regularly, use high-quality fuel, and minimize carbon buildup. 2. Overheating or excessively low temperatures: Overheating is usually caused by prolonged overloading, severe scaling in the cooling system, excessive fuel supply, or delayed fuel injection timing. Avoid prolonged overloading, clean the cooling system of scale, reduce fuel supply, and adjust the fuel injection timing. 3. Clogged air filter: A clogged air filter increases intake resistance, reduces the amount of air entering the cylinders, and leads to incomplete combustion of diesel, resulting in insufficient engine power.
