What is the reason for manual transmission high RPM fuel cut-off?
1 Answers
Manual transmission high RPM fuel cut-off is implemented to ensure the safe operation of the engine and to control fuel consumption and emissions. Hazards of excessively high RPM: At excessively high RPM, engine oil lubrication may become inadequate, increasing friction among rotating components and accelerating engine wear. Additionally, internal transmission components may malfunction, fail to operate normally, or even sustain damage, such as the timing belt or chain. Reasons for high RPM fuel cut-off: For gasoline-powered vehicles, when the RPM reaches the redline zone around 7000 and does not decrease even if the throttle is not released, the engine can no longer increase speed. However, the maximum speed is not limited by mechanical failure but rather by a preset limit in the engine control unit (ECU) to implement fuel cut-off. This prevents the driver from pushing the vehicle into the "danger zone," thereby protecting the engine.
