Is it good for the engine to press and release the accelerator pedal repeatedly?
1 Answers
Repeatedly pressing and releasing the accelerator pedal does not cause any damage to the engine. It is quite common to press the accelerator pedal and then immediately release it to step on the brake during traffic congestion. In fact, the accelerator pedal does not directly control the fuel injection volume of the engine. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the throttle opening increases, allowing more air to enter the engine. The ECU then commands the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, causing the engine speed to rise and the car to accelerate. The throttle is an important component of the engine that controls the amount of air entering the engine. Over time, carbon deposits may form on the throttle, which can affect the normal operation of the engine.
