How much fuel does a 1.5L engine consume when idling with AC on for one hour?
1 Answers
1.5L displacement vehicles consume approximately 2.0 liters of fuel when idling for one hour. Below is relevant information about vehicle idling: 1. Purpose of vehicle idling: Idling is an operational state of a vehicle where the engine runs in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is referred to as idle speed. Idle speed can be adjusted by modifying parameters such as throttle opening. Essentially, idling means the engine is 'producing power without doing work.' When the accelerator pedal is fully released while the engine is running, the engine enters idle state. 2. Causes of unstable idling: Direct causes include dirty, worn, or improperly installed mechanical components leading to variations in cylinder power output, resulting in imbalanced cylinder performance and unstable engine idling. Indirect causes refer to abnormalities in the engine's electronic control system causing poor fuel-air mixture combustion, making it difficult to balance cylinder power output and leading to unstable engine idling.
