Engine start-stop generally does not damage the car. Here is an introduction to engine start-stop technology: 1. Engine automatic start-stop technology is a system that can automatically control engine shutdown and ignition. Vehicles equipped with this technology will automatically shut down the engine when temporarily stopping during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system will automatically restart the engine. Usually, the automatic start-stop function is enabled by default, but car owners can choose to turn it off if not needed. 2. The advantage of engine start-stop technology is fuel saving. Whether waiting at a red light or stuck in traffic, the engine automatic start-stop technology can automatically shut off the engine when the car stops, thereby saving fuel.

What are the effects of incorrectly mounting tires inside out?

The effects of incorrectly mounting tires inside out include: reduced grip, uneven resistance on both sides of the vehicle, decreased braking effectiveness, tendency to veer off course, unstable steering, and poor water drainage during rainy weather, leading to potential safety hazards. Additionally, if the tires are mounted incorrectly, the vehicle's comfort will certainly be affected, and wear will accelerate faster than under normal conditions. Tire installation methods: 1. Symmetrical tread tires: There is no distinction between front, back, left, right, inside, or outside for installation, but it is recommended to place the side with the production date facing outward; 2. Asymmetrical tread tires: During installation, the side marked with the letters "outside" should be mounted facing outward.

How Much Fuel Does an Engine Consume at Idle?

An engine consumes approximately one liter of fuel per hour at idle. Below are specific details about car idling: 1. High Idle Speed: The hazards of high idle speed include increased fuel consumption, elevated engine operating temperature, and accelerated machine wear. 2. Low Idle Speed: The hazards of low idle speed include stalling during startup, which can damage the engine and starter if it occurs frequently. Additionally, excessively low idle speed may lead to stalling while driving, long-term carbon buildup in the engine cylinders, and reduced acceleration power. 3. Prerequisites for Adjusting Idle Speed: The engine temperature should be normal, valve clearance appropriate, ignition system functioning properly, all pipes well-sealed, choke fully open, and throttle able to close tightly, among other conditions.

What are the consequences of putting white sugar in the engine?

Putting white sugar in the engine can cause irreparable mechanical damage to the engine. The consequences are as follows: 1. Since white sugar does not dissolve in engine oil and will melt as the engine temperature rises, it will increase the viscosity of the engine oil and prevent normal circulation. 2. Large particles of white sugar cannot pass through the oil coarse filter, affecting the oil pump's fuel supply pressure. The melted sugar at high temperatures will enter the oil filter, causing oil blockage and reducing the engine's lubrication performance. 3. After passing through the fuel supply system and filters, residual fine sugar particles will still enter the engine with the fuel. When burned, the sugar, containing CHO elements, will produce carbon deposits, causing damage to the engine.
