Why is there no deceleration with foot off gas?

Why is there no deceleration with foot off gas?

The more inertia is carried is the less energy will be used reaccelerating. manufacturers are driven by CAFE mandates and the market forces to design cars that will get maximum gas mileage for their class. I’m actually rethinking what I said earlier.

What happens when you put your foot on the brake?

While stopped, with my foot on the brake, I could hear the car engine revving as if I was trying to accelerate the car. It happens at 2 second intervals in between. With my foot off the brake, the car starts to accelerate itself to 20 mph in a fashion similar to using cruise control going uphill.

Why do you take your foot off the gas pedal?

It’s entirely possible, but at the expense of mileage. Much of driving is taking the foot off of the pedal and then reaccelerating. The more inertia is carried is the less energy will be used reaccelerating. manufacturers are driven by CAFE mandates and the market forces to design cars that will get maximum gas mileage for their class.

Why does my car accelerate without the gas pedal?

If the cold cranking amps of your battery are not up to… There are two possible causes that come to mind: The brakes have excessive runout and are warped A wheel bearing is failing If the wheel bearing has failed, it can cause some serious problems if not dealt…

What happens when you take your foot off the accelerator?

I remember when driving a passenger car, when I took my foot off the accelerator pedal completely, but remained in gear, the car would normally continue to move at some low speed, different for each gear, more or less constant for each gear (provided the road is flat). Now I drive a van, and I am surprised it doesn’t behave like that.

Why does my car not start when I take my foot off the gas?

The fuel injectors work at any RPM, so a choke is not necessary. The computer simply feeds a little extra gas through the fuel injectors to start the engine. On the old carburetor engines, you pressed the gas pedal before starting to set the choke position and give a squirt of fuel into the engine via the accelerator pump.
