What are the Hazards of Car Idling?
1 Answers
The hazards of car idling are: it can easily lead to carbon buildup in the vehicle, which is detrimental to the engine's intake and exhaust systems. In a manual transmission, pressing the clutch pedal results in idling, as there is no output from the transmission. Pressing the accelerator pedal without starting the engine is considered idling. In winter, the atomization effect of the fuel injectors is poor, and some low-end cars may have difficulty starting. Pressing the accelerator pedal without starting the engine can increase fuel injection, making it easier to start the car. However, repeatedly pressing the accelerator pedal without starting the engine can flood the spark plugs. Prolonged idling also extends the time it takes for the engine to reach normal operating temperature, slowing the evaporation of gasoline sprayed onto the back of the valves, leading to carbon buildup.
