2. Stall (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(engine)

   For example, if the selector is in the 'D' position and the car is moving backwards, (on a steep enough hill to overcome the torque from the torque converter) the engine will stall, because the engine is forced to turn in the opposite direction to what it is actually doing. This is because, hypothetically, if the car is rolling backward fast ...

3. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

   The appropriate response to compressor stalls varies according to the engine type and situation, but usually consists of immediately and steadily decreasing thrust on the affected engine. While modern engines with advanced control units can avoid many causes of stall, jet aircraft pilots must continue to take this into account when dropping ...

4. The Toro Company - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Toro_Company

   The Toro Company was established as the "Toro Motor Company" in 1914 to build tractor engines for The Bull Tractor Company. [4] It built steam engines to support war efforts during World War I, and changed its name to Toro Manufacturing Company in 1920 when it began to refocus on manufacturing farm equipment. [5]

5. Diesel engine runaway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine_runaway

   Engines fitted with a decompressor can also be stopped by operating the decompressor, and in a vehicle with a manual transmission it is sometimes possible to stop the engine by engaging a high gear (i.e. 4th, 5th, 6th etc.), with foot brake and parking brake fully applied, and quickly letting out the clutch to slow the engine RPM to a stop ...

6. Dieseling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

   Dieseling or engine run-on is a condition that can occur in spark-plug-ignited, gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, whereby the engine keeps running for a short period after being turned off, drawing fuel through the carburetor, into the engine and igniting it without a spark.

7. Four-stroking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroking

   Four-stroking is a condition of two-stroke engines where combustion occurs every four strokes or more, rather than every two. Though normal in some instances at idle, extremely high engine speeds, and when letting off the throttle, such firing is uneven, noisy and may, in cases of malfunction, damage the engine if allowed to continue unabated.

8. Stall (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_dynamics)

   The tendency of powerful propeller aircraft to roll in reaction to engine torque creates a risk of accelerated stalls. When an aircraft such as a Mitsubishi MU-2 is flying close to its stall speed, the sudden application of full power may cause it to roll, creating the same aerodynamic conditions that induce an accelerated stall in turning ...

9. Two-stroke engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_engine

   Animation of a two-stroke engine. A two-stroke (or two-stroke cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston (one up and one down movement) in one revolution of the crankshaft in contrast to a four-stroke engine which requires four strokes of the piston in two crankshaft revolutions to complete a power cycle.
