It measures distance for the car, it is not dependent on engine run time.
I would use the odometer on my car. If that does not help I would use a map and a ruler and measure it to scale.
if your alternator is gone or going your car will start and then eventually just stop running because your battery has gone dead. it typically will not make any sound when your engine is not running because of a dead battery.
Yes, most definitely but will run rich as engine temperature plays a big roll in fuel / air mixture.
It may be that the engine coolant temprature sensor has gone faulty. It may well be sending the wrong signal to the ECM causing the ECM to think the engine is hot when in fact the engine is cold.
Remove the dash cluster to gain access to the back of the cluster to change the bulbs.
no the odometer is for the car not the engine
# Turn your car on -- make sure you are see the odometer -- not the "trip meter" but the actual mileage odometer. # Turn your car off. press the odometer button down, while you turn your car on. The numbers will turn into "--" one by one until all gone. Then it is reset.
Yes.
Distance
Mileage is just a slang term for a measure of how far a car has gone. the more mileage, the longer the car has been driven. It is just the number on the odometer, telling you how many miles/kilometers the car has been driven.
odometer
The vehicles odometer records the mileage for you.
Odos measure distance travelled, speedos measure speed at that moment.
The instrument used to measure the total distance that a car has traveled is called an odometer.
Because that's what it's built to do.
Turn ignition key half way while holding odometer button 15-30 secs.turn back off while still holding odometer button. Turn car on and it should be gone
No, the odometer measures the distance traveled by a vehicle. The speedometer measures the speed at any given moment in time, but not the average speed.
