What Causes Abnormal Noise in the Engine Compartment at Idle Speed?
1 Answers
Abnormal noise in the engine compartment at idle speed is mainly caused by excessive wear of certain parts or improper assembly and adjustment. Car owners can identify the source of the noise by its sound and proceed with repairs accordingly. If abnormal noise occurs in the engine compartment, the owner should promptly inspect and repair it to avoid more significant issues. Idle speed is an operational state of a car, referring to the engine running without any load when the car is in neutral gear. At this time, the engine overcomes only its own friction to output power externally. When the car experiences unstable idle speed, the first step is to check for any leaks in the intake pipe. If leaks are found, replacing the pipe should resolve the issue.
