How Long Can an Engine Run with a Misfiring Cylinder?
1 Answers
An engine with a misfiring cylinder is theoretically not advisable to continue driving. Below is an introduction to the related content: 1. Four-cylinder engines: If the vehicle's engine is a four-cylinder, a misfiring cylinder means only 3 cylinders may be functioning properly. 2. Idling: At idle or low to medium speeds, as long as you don't accelerate urgently, driving about ten kilometers shouldn't pose a significant problem. Here are some extended guidelines on precautions when using a car engine: 1. Avoid driving in neutral: The engine inherently has a fuel-cut function during deceleration; driving in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Eliminate safety hazards: When using the vehicle, pay attention to observation. If you notice oil on the ground, determine whether it's due to engine oil leakage and promptly communicate with the car's 4S shop. 3. Idle before shutting down: For vehicles equipped with turbochargers, do not shut off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing a slope. Let it idle for about 10 minutes before turning it off. 4. Filter impurities: When brake fluid is contaminated or absorbs moisture, or if impurities or sediment are found in the brake fluid, it should be replaced promptly or carefully filtered.
