Will the car move when in first gear without pressing the accelerator? The answer is yes. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Reason: 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 or not. This is the result of idling forward. Not pressing the accelerator does not mean no gasoline enters the engine, otherwise the engine would stall. Therefore, the engine still has power and the car will move forward. Only when in neutral gear will the car stop moving forward. 2. In gear situation: Gently releasing the clutch will transfer the engine's power output to the transmission and drive wheels, causing the vehicle to move. The power will be less than when pressing the accelerator, so it is easy for the engine to stall due to the vehicle's static resistance. If you can release the clutch gently without stalling the engine, the vehicle can obtain forward momentum.
