Is It Good to Step on the Gas Pedal Hard When Starting a Car?
1 Answers
Stepping on the gas pedal hard when starting a car can cause significant damage to the vehicle. Frequently accelerating aggressively from a standstill does more harm than good, especially to the car's engine and transmission. Here are the relevant details: 1. During rapid acceleration, the engine's RPM suddenly increases, causing the engine pistons to operate at high speeds. Theoretically, this also generates substantial impact on components such as the engine crankshaft and cylinder walls. 2. The transmission interacts with the engine, and its interior consists of various gears and components. During rapid acceleration, the sudden generation of high torque places greater pressure on parts like the steel belt gears and clutch. Friction between transmission components can easily produce fine metal shavings, leading to impurities in the engine oil. This is why new cars require an oil change during their first maintenance.
