It is not advisable to press the accelerator when the car is in neutral gear. The effects of pressing the accelerator in neutral are as follows: Impact on engine reliability and lifespan: When the car is in neutral, the engine has no power output. At this time, pressing the accelerator sharply increases the engine speed, causing rapid acceleration of moving parts such as pistons and connecting rods. This generates significant acceleration forces, subjecting these components to substantial alternating loads. The stress on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, connecting rod bolts, and crankshaft will exceed normal operating levels, affecting the engine's reliability and lifespan. Cylinder scuffing and bearing seizure: Due to the sharp increase in engine speed when the accelerator is pressed, lubrication at various friction pairs cannot keep up, making it highly likely to cause cylinder scuffing, bearing seizure, and other failures.
