Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the operation of an engine 2 of a motor vehicle 1 is disclosed in which the engine 2 is restarted while the vehicle 1 is in motion by bump starting it if the speed of the vehicle 1 falls within predetermined speed limits but is otherwise restarted using a starter motor 5. The number of starts for which the starter motor 5 is used is thereby reduced advantageously reducing wear of the starter motor 5 and increasing the life and/or reducing the duty cycle of the battery or source of power 6 used for the starter motor 5.
