What are the effects of revving the engine in neutral gear on the car?
1 Answers
The effects of revving the engine in neutral gear on the car are: 1. It subjects the moving parts of the engine to significant inertial forces, affecting the engine's reliability and lifespan; 2. The engine speed increases sharply, causing the stress on moving parts to exceed normal operating levels; 3. It can easily lead to cylinder scuffing and bearing seizure failures; 4. It places excessive load on the transmission gears, potentially causing gear damage in severe cases. The throttle, also known as the air valve or accelerator, refers to the control device that regulates engine power. Neutral gear means the vehicle's gearshift lever is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, completely disconnecting the transmission from the engine. In manual transmissions, neutral is the middle position, while in automatic transmissions, it is marked with an 'N'.
