What kind of damage can be caused by keeping a car running without turning it off for a long time?
1 Answers
Keeping a car running without turning it off for a long time can cause the following damages: 1. Carbon deposit accumulation: A long idle time means the engine takes longer to reach normal operating temperature, slowing down the evaporation of gasoline sprayed onto the back of the valves, leading to carbon deposits. Frequent idling also reduces the airflow into the engine, weakening the scouring effect on carbon deposits and promoting their accumulation. 2. Increased fuel consumption: If the vehicle remains in idle mode, it continues to consume fuel, leading to higher fuel consumption. 3. Damage to electronic components: Modern vehicles have an increasing number of electronic components, all of which consume power. Even if some functions are not activated when the vehicle is started, they remain in a connected state and still consume some electricity. If left running, they will continue to drain power.
