How Long Can an Engine Run with a Misfiring Cylinder?

[LeilaniMarie]

An engine with a misfiring cylinder should theoretically not be driven. Below is an introduction to related content: Four-cylinder engines: If the vehicle's engine is a four-cylinder, a misfire means only three cylinders may be functioning properly. Idling: At idle or low to medium speeds, as long as you don't accelerate aggressively, driving about ten kilometers is generally not a problem. Below is extended information on precautions for using car engines: Avoid coasting in neutral: The engine inherently has a fuel-cut function during deceleration. Being in neutral actually hinders fuel efficiency. Eliminate safety hazards: When using the vehicle, pay attention to observation. If you notice oil on the ground, determine whether there's an engine oil leak and promptly communicate with the car dealership. Idle before shutdown: For vehicles equipped with turbochargers, do not shut off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing hills. Let it idle for 10 minutes before shutting down. Filter impurities: When brake fluid becomes contaminated with or absorbs water, or if impurities or sediment are found in the brake fluid, it should be replaced promptly or carefully filtered.
