Does idling mean not pressing anything?

[DeJasmine]

Idling refers to the state when the vehicle is stationary and the accelerator pedal is not pressed. Below is relevant information about idling: 1. Oil consumption: During idling, oil is more easily consumed, primarily as oil vapor is drawn into the intake manifold, which is part of the crankcase forced ventilation system. At idle, the crankcase ventilation operates through a partial-load ventilation pathway, which may connect before or after the throttle valve. Prolonged idling can thus lead to oil accumulation in the intake manifold. 2. Coking: During idling, the throttle valve opening is small, creating a high vacuum inside the intake manifold. This can draw oil vapor into the intake manifold, where some of it deposits and forms carbon-like substances.
