What are the impacts of a car idling for a whole day?
1 Answers
Idling a car for a whole day can have the following impacts: 1. Fuel consumption: Car idling consumes fuel. If the fuel tank is already low, the car will automatically shut down when it runs out of fuel. 2. Increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber: When the engine is idling, the fuel injector continues to spray fuel. However, the air intake is limited during idling, and the limited air cannot fully mix with the fuel, leading to incomplete combustion and easier formation of carbon deposits. 3. Accelerated engine wear: Movement causes friction. During idling, the oil pump operates more slowly, resulting in lower oil pressure. This makes it difficult to effectively lubricate components such as bearing shells, thereby accelerating the wear of pistons, connecting rods, and the engine.
