Yes, idling for long periods of time can potentially damage the engine. It can lead to excessive wear on parts and carbon buildup. Also, it may cause the engine to operate inefficiently leading to spark plug fouling and excessive fuel consumption. At idle, the engine is not operating at its peak temperature, which means fuel combustion is not complete. This can lead to soot deposits on cylinder walls, often called engine slob, which can stick to spark plugs and other engine components, causing the vehicle to get poorer gas mileage and losing engine power. It can also lead to the degradation of engine oil and exhaust systems. However, short periods of idling, such as at traffic lights, are generally not harmful.
