Coasting in neutral does affect the car. The specific impacts of coasting in neutral include: 1. The engine's lubrication, cooling, and sealing functions are weakened, accelerating engine wear and aging; 2. Accelerated gear wear, potentially leading to breakage or detachment, harming the transmission's lifespan; 3. Increased carbon buildup, reducing fuel efficiency. Coasting in neutral refers to the operation where the driver shifts the gear lever to the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, allowing the vehicle to move by inertia. Prolonged coasting in neutral can cause the vehicle to accelerate due to its own weight, and continuous braking will gradually raise the temperature of the braking system, potentially causing the brake fluid to vaporize.

What are the reasons why the xrv won't start?

xrv won't start for the following reasons: 1. Battery depletion: Low temperatures in winter and forgetting to turn off individual electrical devices can cause the vehicle to fail to start, especially when used for long periods of short-distance, low-speed driving in winter, the battery voltage may drop below the rated value, preventing the vehicle from operating normally. 2. Fuel flow obstruction: There is no fuel pressure in the engine's fuel supply line. This situation often occurs on particularly cold mornings due to long-term dirt in the fuel lines. At extremely low temperatures, water and debris mix, blocking the fuel lines and preventing startup. 3. Poor ignition system performance: In cold weather, due to low intake air temperature, fuel does not atomize well in the cylinders. If combined with insufficient ignition energy, this can lead to cylinder flooding, where excessive fuel accumulates in the cylinders, exceeding the ignition limit concentration and preventing startup.
