What is the fuel consumption of a 1.6L engine idling with AC on for one hour?
1 Answers
1.6L displacement vehicles consume approximately 6-8 cents worth of fuel per hour when running the air conditioning. The most common family cars typically have around a 1.6L engine. Below is relevant information about car idling: 1. The function of car idling: Idling is an operational state of a car, where the engine runs in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is referred to as the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size, among other methods. Idling means the engine is 'producing power without doing work.' When the engine is running and the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine enters the idling state. 2. Causes of unstable idling: Direct causes refer to mechanical components being dirty, worn, or improperly installed, leading to variations in cylinder power output, resulting in an imbalance of power among cylinders and causing unstable engine idling. Indirect causes refer to abnormalities in the engine's electronic control system, leading to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, making it difficult to balance the power output among cylinders and causing unstable engine idling.
