Will an Automatic Transmission Car Move Without Pressing the Accelerator After Starting?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, when the vehicle is in D gear, it will move forward without pressing the accelerator. Below are the reasons why the car moves in D gear without pressing the accelerator: Related to Power: As long as the engine is running, pressing or not pressing the accelerator only affects the amount of power output, not whether power is output. As long as the engine has power, the car will move forward. Only when in neutral gear will the car stop moving forward. Related to Fuel Supply: Modern vehicles are fuel-injected cars. After engaging the gear and gently releasing the clutch, the car's computer will automatically adjust and increase the fuel supply. Even if the accelerator pedal is not pressed, fuel is actually being supplied, so the car will move on its own. Once steady, pressing the accelerator allows for normal driving.
