what's wrong with high idling?

**CVT** · January 14th, 2008 02:01 PM

It could mean accelerated wear on the engine.... Maybe still under tolerance, but the car should have been designed to run idle at certain RPMs... Higher gas consumption..

Also, I almost forgot (I think not yet mentioned here),- hard on the brakes...

with the amount of traffic here, he is wasting a lot of gas. pero kung ok lang sa kanya then let it be

high idling means mataas kesa sa normal idling, mejo lakas sa gas ng konte kase di normal idling reason bkit mataas, check kung naka tune ang makina.. make sure na naka tono ang makina ng maganda para maibaba sa normal ang idling.

my neighbor's car (same as mine - civic 98) idles at 1k with aircon and headlights on. sometimes at 1.1k. i mentioned it should be around 750 to 850. he likes it as it is daw.

he then asked me ano daw ba problem dun. all i can answer is high gas consumption. he said, di ba it only matters when the car is standing still? pag umaandar naman na daw, it's the same for all whether the idle rpm is high or low. kung madalas daw naka-steady (sa traffic etc), then saka lang daw magma-matter yung high idle.

di ko siya masagot because it makes sense to me.

It is wear and tear for nothing, there is just no use for it (high idle)

sabihin na lang natin na mas mabilis ng 20% ang pagtanda ng car nya when idling.

How will you know nga pala if your idle is in the right setting?.

TIA!

usualy, may sticker nalalagay sa engine bay sa RPM setting. considering kung may tachometer sa dash...

Meron din sa body tags, yon plate na meron body no#, engine no#.
Minsan metal sticker lang sa may cylinder head cover.( recommended rpm)

Mararamdaman mo naman na hindi sya mag stall at hindi rin fino andar. tamang tama lang para di mag vibrate engine.
