What are the harms of engine idling?
1 Answers
Engine idling damage: It can easily cause carbon deposits in the vehicle. Carbon deposits can block the idle channel, causing the idle control device to stick or exceed its adjustment range, leading to low idle speed, idle shaking, failure of various auxiliary devices to accelerate, engine stalling when releasing the throttle, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption. Engine idling means the engine is running without being engaged in gear, only in P or N gear. Usually, you can drive at high speeds more often to use the airflow to clean the intake channel and prevent carbon deposits. You can also increase the shift RPM to remove some carbon deposits, which not only improves the car's power but also avoids knocking caused by too low shift RPM, protecting the engine.
