Does it take more gas to start or idle?
Contrary to popular belief, restarting your car does not burn more fuel than leaving it idling. In fact, idling for just 10 seconds wastes more gas than restarting the engine. Warm up your engine by driving it, not by idling. Today’s electronic engines do not need to warm up, even in winter.
Do you waste fuel while idling?
How much fuel (and money) does idling waste? Idling wastes fuel – and money. Vehicles get ZERO miles-per-gallon while idling. Larger vehicles tend to waste more fuel than smaller ones.
Why does my car keep dying when I give it gas?
The car will stall if the valve is too clogged or when it finally fails. If, while holding the accelerator pedal down, a small amount of pressure keeps the car running at a stop, the idle control valve may require attention. In most late model cars, this problem will usually trigger the Check Engine light.
What causes the Check Engine light to turn off at idle?
At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. The check engine light will randomly turn on and off even if the car is running smoothly without any jerks and stalling.
Is the warrior Idles fine when trying to accelerate?
The warrior idles fine. I’ve adjusted to air mix screw back and forth. It changes the idol but doesn’t seem to improve things when I try to rev it up. 2.25 turns seems to be the sweet spot, as far as idol. The needle is where zoom put it.
What kind of car doesn’t start when you press the gas?
I have a 2001 Toyota Camry LE automatic transmission. Any help is appreciated. I wish folks would post question like you do Carlos. Instead of “My car won’t start”. (and that’s all)..anyway, checking the transmission fluid was the right move, but that would not prevent the engine to rev up.
What to do if your bike Idles when trying to accelerate?
Clean the carb,run some sea foam through it,if that doesn’t work,try your timing.if all else fails it could be a sticky valve and or a bent valve ( I ran a bike on a bent valve for 2 months before it blew) How do you check the valves. I’m not a mechanic but I can do the small stuff. Lol I have a 89 warrior. I put it in the shed during deer season.
