How long should you wait to turn off the engine after driving a turbocharged car at high speed?

No need to wait. When driving on highways, the engine operates under non-ideal conditions, running at medium to low loads with relatively low temperatures, so no cooling is required. Moreover, modern vehicles are equipped with delayed cooling water pumps that continue to dissipate heat even after the engine is turned off. For more information on turbocharging, see below: Principle: Without changing the cylinder volume, turbocharging increases the intake air volume, allowing more fuel to be burned to generate greater power. Therefore, when the turbocharger builds positive pressure, the vehicle's acceleration becomes more powerful. Turbocharged engines do not maintain positive pressure all the time; building pressure when there is no power demand would only result in unnecessary fuel consumption. Thus, when a turbocharged engine maintains a steady speed, the turbocharger acts merely as a follower device and does not build pressure. After prolonged high-load operation, the turbocharger's housing can reach temperatures close to a thousand degrees, continuously transferring heat to the intermediate housing, where the circulating engine oil carries the heat away.

What are the symptoms of a faulty throttle body?

Symptoms of a faulty throttle body include: 1. The vehicle's malfunction indicator light turns on; 2. Unstable or no engine idle speed; 3. Difficulty in cold starting or abnormal engine shaking, accompanied by unusual noises; 4. Insufficient engine power, unstable operation, and poor acceleration performance; 5. Black smoke from the exhaust pipe and increased fuel consumption. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After entering the intake manifold, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, often referred to as the 'throat' of the automobile engine. There are two types of throttle bodies: the traditional cable-operated type and the electronic throttle body. In traditional engines, the throttle body's operating mechanism works via a cable or rod, connecting the accelerator pedal on one end and the throttle linkage plate on the other. The electronic throttle body primarily uses a throttle position sensor to control the opening angle of the throttle based on the engine's energy requirements, thereby adjusting the amount of air intake.

What is the fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-5 2.0?

The average fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-5 2.0 is 6.0~11.0L/100km. Here is a brief introduction about gasoline: 1. Basic information: Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through fractionation and cracking, which can be used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Composition: The main components are C5~C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and naphthenic hydrocarbons, as well as a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on the octane number. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95.
