  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]

    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).

  4. 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.

    If you drive a car regularly, the odds are high that you'll have to sit and wait in it with the engine running at some point. The practice is known as idling, and it's common to do it during ...

  6. Engine tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_tuning

    Engine tuning is the adjustment or modification of the internal combustion engine or Engine Control Unit (ECU) to yield optimal performance and increase the engine's power output, economy, or durability. These goals may be mutually exclusive; an engine may be de-tuned with respect to output power in exchange for better economy or longer engine ...

  7. Idle reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_reduction

    Some idle management technologies are so comprehensive, they are able to manage the engine's on/off ignition while retaining control of auxiliary functions, such as vehicle climate, anti-theft, operator security, and more, even when the engine is powered off. Idle reduction can also be achieved by more efficient control of stop lights [34] and ...

  8. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    In 2007, Caterpillar developed the C13 and C15 Acert engines which used VVT technology to reduce NOx emissions, to avoid the use of EGR after 2002 EPA requirements. [16] [17] In 2010, Mitsubishi developed and started mass production of its 4N13 1.8 L DOHC I4, the world's first passenger car diesel engine that features a variable valve timing ...

  9. Idle creep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_creep

    Idle creep, sometimes called idle speed or just creep [citation needed] is the default speed that a vehicle with an automatic transmission will move either forward or in reverse when the change lever is in D for drive or R for reverse and the foot is taken off the brake pedal but the accelerator pedal is not depressed. This behaviour is due to ...
