hybrid power in any car?
For a while now on occasion i get the feeling that when taking of at a redlight
(engine warmed, but switched off, keystart the car just befor i drive away) the car takes off amasingly well, even when the pedal is only mildly depressed. when the engine is left ideling takeoff is notably less snappy. i'm wondering why this is? i can think of i few things, but might this be because the electric starter motor actually works as a hybrid system for a second? when starting from standstill the engine goes trough it's least effective part of the power curve, so any help it gets in that region could be helpfull. things i considder might also contribute to "better takeoff", but i'm not sure if any really take place.
what do you think? i'm not planning on actively straining the staryer beyound it's limits, but might this be a possible gassaving technique? |
I really doubt it's the starter. Probably just the engine running on the rich side for a little bit.
