Is it wrong if I left my car engine running?

Question

What are the disadvantages If I left my car running for about 45 mins and A/C is on?

(motor - suspension - oil)

Answer 1

is this a baby in the car question or are you a pizza guy who doesn't want to wear out your ignition switch and starter

Answer 2

depends, some states its illegal

Answer 3

Apart from the fact that in the UK it's illegal for a driver to quit a vehicle and leave the engine running on the public highway, all you're doing is wasting fuel. It won't cause any damage unless your cooling system is dubious.

Answer 4

Ahmed E ,

      Was there kids , or possible a retarded person in it ??

      Where You at the gas pumps  ??

      was the car in a place where the fumes could hurt , or be a

      torment to someone , Or the possibility of trying to kill Your

      self in a closed garage  ??

      As long as Your engine was running as it should , I would say

      that You may of lost about an average of  31.5 miles You could

      of saved .. (Perhaps You may of even gained , if You had a

      beautiful Lady in the back caring on .. )

      Then , If none of the Above  ..  It is Your gas ..., As well , even if it

      got stolen ..  WM ..      

      If You are / were a mechanic ..., many times one must

      run the car for a period as long as 35 40 minutes to

      figure out if it is running properly , as well to check , and

      see if the A/C is going to stay at the same pressure , as

      well one may had put on a new head gaskett to see if it

      would leak water , or steam ..., and that goes along with

      the cooling system as well .. ., such as for steam leaks ,

      or as well  wither , or not the thermostat kicks in , and as

      well , to check and see if the heater/ or core works with

      no small steam comming from it ... that would fog up the

      windows with antifreeze / or as well ,vaporizeing  anti-

      freeze fumes causeing a harmful vapor  ..

Answer 5

Yes, somebody may come up and burglarise you off your car...

Cases like these do happen.
