Which is More Harmful to the Car: Heavy or Light Acceleration?
1 Answers
Between heavy acceleration and light acceleration, light acceleration is more harmful to the car. Light Acceleration: When a car is driven at low speeds for extended periods, incomplete combustion can occur, leading to carbon buildup. If the accelerator is pressed lightly over a long time, it can increase carbon deposits in the car, which may eventually cause significant issues with the engine. Additionally, mismatched speed and gear can also lead to similar problems. Heavy Acceleration: Full combustion reduces carbon buildup, thereby protecting the engine. Therefore, driving at high speeds helps clean carbon deposits more quickly. Although heavy acceleration might have some impact on the throttle, compared to engine damage, such effects are relatively minor.
