Can you remove carbon deposits by vigorously bombing the throttle?

As we all know, cars will inevitably produce carbon deposits when they are used for a long time. Once too much carbon is deposited, it will easily lead to a series of problems such as unstable idle speed, decreased power and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, many car owners use many methods to remove carbon deposits. Some old drivers even said that stepping on the accelerator can effectively remove carbon deposits. So the question is, is this method reliable? Can carbon deposits really be removed? Will it hurt the car?

Generally speaking, carbon deposition is caused by incomplete combustion of fuel in the engine or incomplete combustion of paraffin in the fuel, which is usually adsorbed near the fuel nozzle, throttle, oil circuit, pipeline and spark plug. However, long-term idling, low-speed driving, short-distance driving and long-term in-situ heating will aggravate the formation of carbon deposits.

And slamming on the accelerator may be thought by many people to control the fuel injection of the engine. In fact, the accelerator is connected with the throttle, and the throttle controls the intake of the engine. The air intake will affect the fuel injection quantity, and the change of air-fuel ratio will change the engine speed, so you can suddenly step on the accelerator to increase the engine speed. If your engine is powerful enough, then the car can accelerate more at that moment.

When we use the car in our daily life, we usually drive at the speed of 1500 to 2000 rpm to shift gears, because at this speed, the shift is smooth and fuel-efficient. However, the car always runs at a low speed, and the mixture cannot be fully burned. After a long time, carbon deposits will form. If you step on the accelerator a few times from time to time, the mixture will be fully burned, and of course the carbon deposit can also be cleaned up and reduced.

Stepping on the accelerator can only wash off the carbon deposits on the fuel injector, but it has little effect on removing the carbon deposits on the cylinder and throttle. So stepping on the accelerator can really reduce carbon deposition, but if you keep stepping on the accelerator while driving, you will hurt your car.

Why do you say that? When the accelerator is pressed hard for a long time, the engine speed will increase instantly. Although it has little influence on the internal structure of the engine such as crankshaft and connecting rod, the key to the problem lies in transmitting the power of the engine to the transmission system inside the automobile. At the moment when the engine flywheel speed rises, the transmission system moves at the original speed, and the speed difference causes the torque of the clutch to increase instantly, so that the friction plates in the clutch will slip and the sliding friction will generate heat, which may damage the clutch for a long time.

In addition, the most obvious consequence of a long and violent throttle explosion is an increase in fuel consumption, because high temperature can easily vaporize the engine oil and then rush into the combustion chamber, resulting in the phenomenon of engine oil burning. After the oil quantity is insufficient, the engine can't get better lubrication, which is a vicious circle, so it will damage the engine. In addition, if the throttle valve is too wide, the gasoline injection controlled by the driving computer will definitely increase, which will easily lead to incomplete combustion, thus forming carbon deposits. Therefore, opening the throttle for a long time will not only increase fuel consumption, but also reduce the power of the engine.

Generally speaking, whether driving a luxury car or a home shopping cart, carbon deposition is inevitable. For car owners, it is best to know how to reduce the increase of carbon deposits, such as avoiding long-term idle adjustment, long-term idle, frequent start-stop and so on. Therefore, it is very important to develop good driving habits.
