While I am not too sure about this myself, I heard it's because boxers (like most other molosser breeds) are very muscular, and so they get hot a lot easier than other non-mastiff breeds. However, panting can indicate excitement in any dog, as well as stress.

Sometimes stress causes dogs to pant, but usually heat is the main reason they don't sweat like humans, so that is how they cool down.

How do you adjust the idle on a Ford F-350 diesel?

Computer controlled, not adjustable. (maybe it is on the older mechanical ones, not sure). If the idle is off, something is wrong.

There is a vacuum leak in the engine. When there is not enough pressure in the air system the car will not idle correctly. This can cause a slow idle, erratic idle, or even a surging idle. Check the vacuum lines and intake for any leaks.

How does a governor work on a semi truck?

If the engine is electronic, engine speed at low idle and high idle is controlled by a computer. If it's an older engine, a set of weights and springs work together inside the governor part of the injection pump to control low and high idle. In between these speeds, your foot does the job on the accelerator pedal.

Why does The car idle goes up an down?

Could be a number of things. Does it jump when you are driving it and parked? It could be an idle air control valve or even a throttle position sensor, it could be misfiring also. My t/a did the same and it turned out to be the idle air control valve.
