When you are ready to leave for work after your car has sat for a prolonged period of time check the ground underneath your car for puddles.
Floor the pedal bad for car.
When you apply maximum force to the brake pedal you re telling your car you want to slow down very quickly.
There s one more thing that could be causing the brake pedal to go all the way to the floor.
The only damage that operating a car engine at wot for less than several consecutive minutes will cause is to the fuel level in the gas tank.
I just love hearing the roar of the engine.
When you push down on the brake pedal a little you re telling your car to slow down a bit.
Another common reason why your brake pedal may go down to the floor is because you are running low on brake fluid.
Imagine throwing a bowling ball.
The pedal will go all the way to the floor and the car will be harder to stop.
Or is it fine.
It was maybe floored for 10 to 15 seconds.
Is it bad to floor the gas pedal on your car.
Because of the weight of the ball you start out slowly until your arm s motion catches momentum before you release it with the maximum force.
I d say yes here s what a car feels when you floor it.
Presence of air in brake lines.
Car engines actually benefit from occasional operation at full throttle for brief periods of time because it will dislodge tiny particles of carbon which tend to accumulate on the cylinder head and valves.
In absolute terms increasing the throttle position increases the load on the engine making it do more work.
When i get onto the highway i like to floor it and accelerate as quickly as the v 6 can take me.
The most common reason this happens is because you have a leak in one of your lines.
I ve actually heard it s good to do this every once in awhile to clean the injectors and engine out.
Then it can handle high rpm high load for a lot longer than most people.
Now if you t.
But if the engine is within it s operating specs as far as coolant temp oil temp etc.
If the booster is bad then the full amount of force needed to activate the master cylinder and pressurize the brake fluid isn t going to be there.
This happens because you are not getting sufficient power boost required to stop the car.
I rarely if ever do this but last night i had it in sport mode and i just wanted to see what power the engine had.
Then as soon as i get to 65 mph i quickly let off the pedal and cruise at the speed limit.
The brake pedal is what you use to communicate to the car that you want it to slow down and it should always function the same.
It is debatable whether flooring the gas pedal really is bad for the car.
