What is the appropriate RPM when a car is just started?
1 Answers
Cars are suitable to start at around 1200 RPM, and the RPM can be appropriately increased when climbing or under heavy load. In winter, it's best to warm up the engine for about a minute before starting, and the starting RPM should not exceed 2000, as it is harmful to the engine. Here are other explanations regarding car starting RPM: It is normal for the idle speed to be high when starting. The car needs a higher RPM to allow the engine to reach normal operating conditions quickly, requiring a richer air-fuel mixture. Therefore, both the air intake and fuel injection will increase, leading to higher RPM. The colder the weather and the lower the water temperature (compared to the normal operating temperature of the engine, generally around 85-110 degrees), the greater the difference from the normal engine operating temperature, and the higher the cold engine fast idle speed controlled by the computer, resulting in higher RPM when just started. Under normal circumstances, depending on the water temperature, the cold engine idle speed will gradually decrease from over 1200 RPM until the engine reaches the normal operating temperature and achieves the standard idle speed of around 800 RPM.
