They could get 2 or 3% by just making the vehicle lighter mate. One wonders how much efficiency is lost by hauling around the ever increasing number of complex gadgets? For example electrically heated seats can weigh upwards of 80KG for a driver/front passenger seat for what is an utterly pointless function as your arse will warm it up after a minute while the cabin heater kicks in. A lighter car means better road holding, lower fuel consumption and better performance. I own a 2004 lightweight French supermini hot hatch, curb weight of 1035KG and it does 0-62 in 6.7, 140MPH, and cruising at 75MPH (it's peak mpg point) gets 45MPG on a flat motorway with 35MPH on the urban cycle if you don't drive like a boy racer. I wonder what it would do if I lightened it and replaced the posh leather seats and climate control system? That'd knock around 10% of the weight off, and of course with no A/C belt holding the motor back it'd rev a little more freely.

@@michealcthompsonjrYessir it does make a difference. If I forget and leave mine on and the engine shuts down at a light, then when I take off, if I forget and try to take off too fast, there’s a nasty jolt in the drive train as the engine tries to catch up with what’s going on, and I know it can’t be good for things. And that right there is why I try to always remember to keep mine turned off. Besides that it’s really annoying. The potential repair costs are not worth the potential savings.

Had a 2017 Dodge Durango with this feature. Had to replace the starter which cost over $1k because the engine mount had to be removed to get the job done. The mechanic checked how many starts the old starter had on it. It had logged 36,000 starts! We were floored! Even if I had started my car 10 times a day for a year it would have only totaled 3650 starts in a single year, but because it stops the engine at every stoplight, stop sign, and even when you pull in to park, it had racked up that many starts at the 87K mile mark.

Thank's Scotty. In addition to wearing the engine, battery, and starter out faster, the few times I tried that feature on my 2019 Highlander, I noticed a lag in acceleration. Maybe not noticeable for the average driver, but I've driven Emergency vehicles for over thirty years. If you need to accelerate from a stop to get out of a situation where you may be impacted in a collision, you don't want any hesitation.

@ward7576 Жыл бұрын

Yes, hundred times yes - the lag in accel after a full stop is just terrible. I got Dacia Duster 2023 1.3l engine with start-stop and I just can't start driving after a full stop with proper acceleration - it feels like I never gave it any gas...2 seconds go by and I am getting fking yeeted forward with that delayed acceleration. I enjoy the part of using remote and starting the car with button, but other than that - it's terrible.

@TurtleSauceGaming Жыл бұрын

@@ward7576I personally have made it a point to try to avoid those smaller engines. I had a 1.6L 2013 Ford Fusion, and don't get me wrong I did love that car. Cool looking, and a solid car all around. Except at 150k miles we were doing something and noticed that the serpentine belt we just replaced 6 months ago was now shredded. The headers were leaking. The turbochargers they put on these smaller engines are killing them. Maybe they can get away without a turbo on some, but most they put a turbo on, and I just don't know if I could trust one, even without a turbo. I hope you get a long life out of that car, but man if a vehicle is blowing oil like that under 200k miles, it's a failure in my opinion. Meanwhile my 5.6L v8 on my truck is going on 325k miles with no such oil leak. As far as I'm concerned, that's HALF the lifespan.

The bearings will not be dry of oil, oil clings to metal surfaces for a quite some time. Pull up the dipstick, is the oil sheeting off leaving it dry, of course not, oil clings to metal by design. Also some cars will have a separate electric oil pump that keeps the oil pumping around the engine ready for the start up. There is no extra wear on the engine itself, you might even say less wear as the engine isn't sat ticking over. Certainly there will be more wear and tear on the battery and the starter motor. The main reason the system was introduced was to reduce local pollution in towns and cities where cars sit in queues, and not to save us fuel. The system doesn't produce less carbon emissions overall (probably more carbon emissions) simply because the car is now carrying extra weight for due to extra batteries and up-rated components, and needs to use fuel to charge the battery again after every stop/start cycle, so any marketing material that says its better for carbon emissions is green washing.

Thank You!! You settled an argument I had with an acquaintance about this feature. I live in Phoenix and drive on the "surface streets" constantly. If someone were to commute from North Phoenix into downtown along, say, 7th Ave. to work during morning rush hour, one could expect to make at least 9 or 10 stops along the way. And in summer when you have your A/C going, daytime running lights on, other interior electronics running, your phone charging, every time you stop for a light, your main battery is draining itself running those systems because your engine has stopped. So, it stood to reason that your main battery will wear out A LOT faster than it would if your idling engine was powering those systems via your alternator while you idle. AND i just knew, without any written evidence, that if you restarted your engine about 10 times more often than normal, you'd burn through your starter MUCH sooner. Physics is truth.

Scotty would copy Fred Flintstone's ride -- to avoid any appearance of technological advancements. I've never found a NEED for my rig to self-start, so I'm safe from Scotty's "bogeyman".

@arkrainflood 11 ай бұрын

yup. i see it as a safety issue. if one is stopped and then suddenly must get out of the way there is at least a delay, and the slight but possibly fatal problem of a non-start.

The first car I had with the start/stop system was a 2019 Buick Enclave, but it had no button to disable the system. I used to shift into manual and go to 9th gear to prevent the system from shutting the car off. My daughter's 2019 Equinox had a similar issue, but to solve her problem, I bought a Range Disabler, plugged it into the OBD port, and the problem was solved.

I purchased an item online called a start stop eliminator. It took about ten minutes to install it works buy reversing the process, you have to push the button if you want to activate the start stop. If not it’s off by default. Works great. Costs less than 100 dollars

👍🏼👍🏼 I hate this feature, specially on a STOP sign. There is a u-tuber that did some test on gasoline consumption and you only saves gas if you stop for more than a 10 seconds. I only use it on intersections that I know gonna take longer and early in the morning I turn off the lights and A/C to avoid faster drain of the battery. Good job Scotty in keeping the community informed and sharing your expertise knowledge to the whole world.

I'm glad you said something. I was taught since the 1980's that 99% of engine wear comes from starting car. I was taught that 1970's auto shop at school. So basically the auto companies on purpose did this so your cars wont last.

I purchased a start stop bypass kit that plugs into ODB port. I am old, and remembering to push the button usually happened at the first stop sign. I have a 2020 Equinox that doesn't have the button and have to put the car in manual shift and then shift it to the top gear... it works perfectly to bypass the start stop. I saw no change in gas mileage.

I hate the start/stop system, not only does it wear components out quicker I also think it’s potentially dangerous especially at road junctions. I always try and remember to turn the system off as soon as the engine has started and hate it if I forget on rare occasions!

@RockyDave Жыл бұрын

I didn't know this stuff, but it always made sense to me to turn the start/stop function off after starting the car. On the subject of batteries, it was necessary to take my car apart to get to the battery behind the front wheel on my Chrysler Sebring... a big job! Then the special battery was £600 UK. That was a few years ago, so would be much more expensive to replace now. Being older and (hopefully) wiser, I now have a Honda Civic.

Scotty, I completely agree with you regarding start / stop and most other things. Searching the internet, I found a device that reverses the start / stop. That is it requires you to press the A button if you want to use the start / stop feature. It cost me about $80 if memory serves me about took me about an hour to install. IT WORKS GREAT and eliminated the annoying start / stop. IT IS A PLEASURE !!

Great video Scotty. This is particularly true for diesel cars as StartStop crap could mess up the glowing plugs as well. The ides for this system is not saving fuel, but to have cleaner air on traffic lights, BUT and only BUT all cars have this system and use it.

@leecowell8165 8 ай бұрын

The glow plugs do NOT light up if the engine is already warm. Combustion pressure alone will fire the engine. My "wait-to-start" indicator immediately extinguishes on my 7.3 if the engine is already hot so I ignored the indicator. But not in the morning I waited until the indicator extinguished before attempting to start.

@lynne2774 Жыл бұрын

I think this is where Scotty's usual saying " follow the money" comes into play, if cars wear out faster with the stop start system there is a very great incentive for the off button to be withdrawn, sadly once the gaurantee expires worn out parts or whole cars are good news for the car companies. Good news for the government too, extra tax is paid if people are forced to repair or replace their cars.

The biggest issue with my ‘23 Civic is the idle stop feature. My car has a manual transmission, which means that if I forget to turn it off, I’ll panic for a second thinking I’ve stalled the engine when I come to a stop. It also sometimes turns on with the clutch partially engaged which makes a rough start, and on top of all other problems will wear the clutch.

It’s the first thing I do! I just got my new VW suv a few months ago and couldn’t figure out why it would do this! Finally got in the manual and figured out how to shut it off after a family member said that can’t be good for my starter! They put the button to activate/deactivate on the passenger side of the shifter up far enough you can’t see it from the driver’s seat. I just feel for it when I start up. Then the instrument cluster annoyingly pesters me regularly to please activate this start/stop!
