What is the fuel consumption of a 460-horsepower engine idling for one hour?
1 Answers
460-horsepower engine idling for one hour generally consumes between 1-2L of fuel. Below is relevant information about car engine idling: 1. The function of car idling: Idling is a working condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle size, etc. Idling means the engine 'outputs power without doing work.' When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine is in an idling state. 2. Causes of unstable idling: Direct causes refer to mechanical parts being dirty, worn, or incorrectly installed, leading to changes in cylinder power, resulting in an imbalance of power among cylinders and causing unstable 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 of each cylinder, and causing unstable idling.
