Q
why is engine power reduced
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engine power can be reduced due to a variety of reasons, primarily related to safeguarding the engine's integrity and optimizing vehicle performance under certain conditions. One key factor is the engine management system, which may limit power to prevent damage if it detects issues like overheating, low oil pressure, or forced conditions outside normal operation parameters, e.g., turbo overboost. Another reason could be a malfunctioning component, such as a clogged air filter, faulty sensors, or worn spark plugs, leading to inefficient fuel combustion and reduced output. Vehicles also reduce power as part of their traction control system to prevent wheel spin under slippery conditions. Regular maintenance and timely addressing of error codes can often restore engine power.
