How would that work? To start an engine you need fuel, air, spark and
compression. 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?

When you write ....

"Back in the 80's when we were discussing this we assumed by now there

... who knows what the hell you are talking about?

I assume everybody but you, harry, and don...
Me too

Not at all unexpected... guess that's what happens when you trim off the
meat of the conversation. Oh well...
