There is a lot of controversy on the internet about how to properly “wake up” the engine. Immediately afterwards, a ring of warning lights flashes on the instrument panel or you have to wait a few seconds. The AvtoVzglyad portal also quotes its arguments on this issue.
First you need to look at the manual. It clearly describes the procedure for starting the engine. In addition, on older machines you can do it right away, but on more modern machines, the manufacturer strongly recommends that you wait.
It is about the technical characteristics of a particular design. There is a lot of electronics in cars these days. Therefore, the internal diagnostics of the vehicle’s on-board systems begin immediately after the signal lights on the “tidy” light up.
In addition to identifying possible malfunctions, a program written in the memory of the electronic engine control unit collects data on the outside air temperature. The latter is important when preparing the fuel-air mixture, especially in cold weather. If you quickly start the car and leave, the system will begin to focus on the average indicators embedded in it. That is, the combustion process of the fuel will not be ideal, and the remaining gasoline will be thrown into the converter. Needless to say, this will clog the cells with deposits, which will bring closer the death of the expensive node. But that is not everything.
Vibrations will be felt for a while at the start of the movement and the engine will run unevenly at idle. Of course, such symptoms will gradually disappear, as the “brain” of the car will orient itself. But still it is not necessary to expose your beloved “iron horse” to unnecessary burdens.
Therefore, if you see some lights flashing on the net after turning the key, you should not start the engine. Give the electronics time to select the optimal mixture formation algorithm and “interrogate” all sensors.
Diesels have a similar story. There are glow plugs that increase the temperature of the air in the combustion chambers to operating values. Therefore, before starting such a unit, wait a few seconds for it to ignite the cylinders.
But in used petrol cars, where a minimum of electronics is present, the engine is started immediately. If you slow down, you can hear the fuel pump pumping fuel. In general, you can pour candles like this.
