Re: no, it goes up for a second

I've learned a few things from this thread, I think. For idle, it would take less fuel. But for coasting: I have always read that putting an automatic in N to coast doesn't save mileage because of a loss of vaccum or some sort, and that essentially you're not using any fuel at closed throttle until you reach a certain RPM. Wouldn't it take more fuel to keep an engine idling instead of coasting? Also, what part of the transmission will wear out becuase of placing the vehicle in N, then clunking it into D while stopped? ...mine sometimes is a pretty hard engagement in the Integra, even warmed up. I'll give it a try and see what happens, but from a cold start, I leave the transmission in gear to heat it up quicker (is this correct?) I used to flip up to N to let it idle higher to warm up the engine faster (like waiting at a light on a very cold day, or at the airport parking lot ticket payment booth line). I agree with Matt -- automatics are some kind of witchcraft -- I've said it before, but I have no clue what the heck goes on in there. RH77 |
Oops, sorry.
Darn double post -- when will they perfect WIFI??? (Dammit)
Anyways, I forgot to mention that D-to-N basically is the engine's unexpected reduced load, then it figures it out and back to idle we go -- manuals won't tend to do it because of the lack of a TC. I miss my manual... RH77 |
