The Damage of Lugging to the Engine?

[DiAugust]

Lugging can cause the following damages to the engine: 1. Low gear: When the engine is lugging in low gear, it experiences weak power output, severe shaking, and poor acceleration, which significantly affects the transmission. The most significant long-term harm of driving with low-speed lugging is carbon buildup, leading to a series of derivative issues such as severe carbon deposits due to incomplete fuel combustion. 2. High gear: Driving under lugging conditions can easily cause the engine to stall and result in high fuel consumption. Under such operating conditions, the engine may work near the critical speed. If the engine speed drops below 1000 rpm, it may stall.
