What does it mean to floor the accelerator at startup?
1 Answers
Flooring the accelerator at startup means pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down when starting the car. Flooring the accelerator at startup can cause the following harm to the car: 1. Incomplete combustion: Frequent flooring of the accelerator will inevitably lead to severe carbon buildup in the engine. 2. Engine wear: Under high RPM and high load, the engine's internal wear intensifies due to the poor characteristics of the oil itself, which may cause mechanical damage such as cylinder scoring, especially when the engine is cold. 3. Damage to the transmission system: Besides harming the engine, flooring the accelerator can also cause certain damage to the transmission system, especially in automatic transmission models. Shifting gears at high speeds requires the clutch or torque converter to absorb the huge impact force. Although these components have impact resistance, excessive wear shortens their lifespan, increasing the cost of car maintenance.
