What Happens If You Block the Car's Exhaust Pipe?
1 Answers
Blocking the car's exhaust pipe will prevent the car from starting. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. The engine operates in four steps (intake → compression → power → exhaust). When the exhaust is blocked, the intake phase of the next cycle is also hindered, causing the engine to stall. 2. If the pipe isn't completely blocked, starting the engine may not be an issue, but acceleration could become sluggish. Additionally, some engines may increase fuel injection to prevent stalling or boost power, leading to incomplete fuel combustion. This not only negatively impacts fuel efficiency but can also cause severe carbon buildup over time.
