If the car had sat more than a minute, there would be no compression and most injected engines cut the fuel off before the engine stops spinning these days to mitigate "making oil" so the "next cylinder" would be dry. I don't think Scott understands what "start-stop" is. Is there a particular dictionary definition, or do I have to join a secret club to know? I think of start stop as the engine cutting at stop signs or even down hills.. then starting back up when it's needed again. Am I close professor? He's probably thinking of the attempts to cut fuel and ignition to 2 or more cylinders once a car had reached cruising speed. GM had a system that cut an 8 cylinder back to 6 or 4 in the 1980's. Didn't really work out very well. Some modern engines have a system whereby if the engine starts to overheat, a couple of cylinders will shut down and just pump air, adding additional cooling. The engine in my truck is supposed to do that but it has never had a reason to. |
