Gameover overdrive. - Toyota Corolla, 1.5L, 1998
I decided to turn off the overdrive today.
And you know what? The revs went up by about a thousand, the car became more responsive (maximum torque at 4500 rpm, which was not achieved with overdrive enabled), I began to drive more aggressively (side effect, yeah).
So, it looks like it's time to clean the throttle valve, otherwise it must have grown a beard on it in 4 years.
It seems to me that it is she who is the reason for the drop in the number of revolutions - little air is supplied - less gasoline - less revolutions.
Just 1500 rpm at a speed of 60-80 km / h is not normal IMHO. And 540 at idle.
While I go with OD / OFF. It's already dry on the road - you can submerge it.
In general, how will it get warmer, clean the inlet, replace the front pads, bleed the brake system (brakes are 3 years old, right?) And partially change the oil in the box (already at the service).
listen. but overdrive allows the car to accelerate faster? I’ve read so much about it, I don’t understand anything anyway :) except that it’s better to drive around the city without it, and use it only for acceleration, but without violence against the engine. which I do, sobsno.
with overdrive, you can press the pedal in the same way, the machine will switch to the 3rd and there will be the same acceleration from 3500 :)
just without O / D, the illusion of fast acceleration is created, because there is no half-second blunt before switching)
Yes, the owner told me that it would be necessary to clean it 2 months after the purchase, but I hammered it and the symptoms intensified gradually, so I still think that the damper.
Freudian slip, bgg)
It eats more fuel, because the revs are higher - 3500 instead of about 2500.
Accordingly, since the maximum torque at 4500 rpm, pushing the sneaker at 3500 rpm, acceleration is faster, because the revs are higher.
overdrive on Toyota stupidly connects-disconnects the fourth gear.
under normal conditions it is better to ride with it, because without it, fuel consumption will increase greatly.
the included overdrive on the machine is the normal mode.
it must be turned off on slippery surfaces in order to brake the engine more efficiently, and in long traffic jams to reduce the number of unnecessary switchings of the machine :)
Max, I cleaned the BDZ for myself last year, it did not bring any effect. It is necessary to look at everything in the complex, BDZ, candles, air, lambda, fuel rail and injectors. If any of this is messy, the whole system will not work like that :)
