The driver comes off the accelerator, the engine quickly goes into overrun but there is a short delay before the vehicle feels as though it has been shunted forwards slightly. The driver gets on the accelerator after the engine has been on overrun, there is a short delay before the vehicle feels as though it has been shunted backwards slightly.
Such add-on overdrive boxes were available from the 1930s to the 1970s for cars and light trucks. Today, most petrol and diesel cars and trucks come with an overdrive transmission because of the benefit to fuel economy. [4] Overdrive is included in both automatic and manual transmissions as an extra gear (or two in some cases). [5]
A freewheel clutch is now used in many motorcycles with an electric starter motor. It is used on many combustion-engined mowers. It is used as a replacement for the Starter solenoid (or the older Bendix drive) used on most car starters because it reduces the electrical needs of the starting system and gives reduced complexity.

A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module (ideally with two or more independent sensors), (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor (sometimes referred to as an electric or electronic throttle body (ETB)), and (iii) a powertrain or engine control module (PCM or ECM).

A hill-holder is a motor vehicle device that holds the brake until the clutch is at the friction point, making it easier for a stationary vehicle to start uphill. By holding the brake in position while the vehicle is put into gear, it prevents rollback.
While most internal combustion engines don't require time to warm up — even though many people like to hop into a warm vehicle — EV owners may need to take some action before getting on the road.
Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.
Delivery records in the full headers show when each computer received the message. The first delivery is at the bottom; the newest at the top. If you find a large time gap between delivery records, that shows which computer delayed before sending it to the next computer. 1. View the full header by following the steps above. 2.
