  2. Idle (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(engine)

    For a passenger car engine, idle speed is customarily between 600 and 1000 rpm. For medium and heavy duty trucks, it is approximately 600 rpm. [1] For many single-cylinder motorcycle engines, idle speed is set between 900 and 1100 rpm. Two-cylinder motorcycle engines are often set around 1000 rpm. [2]

  3. Idle air control actuator - Wikipedia

    The result is an engine that fails to maintain idle RPM and frequently stalls. A jammed actuator may be freed simply by cleaning it. However an actuator that has stopped working due to a fault in its servomotor will need replacement. Air leaks in either the stepper housing or pipes will cause elevated idle RPM.

  4. Gliding (vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliding_(vehicle)

    Starting the engine in cold start temporarily takes more fuel until operation temperature of the engine is detected by the ECU. Gliding vehicles equipped with torque converter-based automatic transmissions causes damage due lack of lubrication. Also, restarting the engine by clutch from the vehicle's kinetic energy or drag is not possible.

    "It's when you're at a full stop and it's been going on for a while. If you're idling in that sense, just turn your vehicle off," he says. "If all vehicles did that, it would make a big impact."

  6. Idle reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_reduction

    Idle reduction describes technologies and practices that minimize the amount of time drivers idle their engines. Avoiding idling time has a multitude of benefits including: savings in fuel and maintenance costs, extending vehicle life, and reducing damaging emissions.

    The mechanical supercharger compressor, driven at 5 times the speed of the crankshaft, mainly operates at low engine speeds from idle up to 2,400 revolutions per minute (rpm) to increase low-end torque. At engine speeds just above idle, the belt-driven supercharger provides a boost pressure of 1.75 bar (25.4 psi).

  8. Start-stop system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start-stop_system

    A start-stop system off button on a Perodua Myvi. A vehicle start-stop system or stop-start system (also known as S&S, micro hybrid, or micro hybrid electric vehicle (μHEV)) [1] automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

  9. Secondary air injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_air_injection

    During engine idle, brief but periodic negative pressure pulses in the exhaust system draw air through the aspirator valve and into the exhaust stream at the catalytic converter. This system, marketed as Pulse Air, was used by American Motors, Chrysler, and other manufacturers beginning in the 1970s. The aspirator provided advantages in cost ...
