Stall (engine), the Glossary
A stall is the slowing or stopping of a process and in the case of an engine refers to a sudden stopping of the engine turning, usually brought about accidentally.[1]

Atmosphere of Earth
The atmosphere of Earth is composed of a layer of gas mixture that surrounds the Earth's planetary surface (both lands and oceans), known collectively as air, with variable quantities of suspended aerosols and particulates (which create weather features such as clouds and hazes), all retained by Earth's gravity.
See Stall (engine) and Atmosphere of Earth
Automatic transmission
An automatic transmission (sometimes abbreviated AT) is a multi-speed transmission used in motor vehicles that does not require any input from the driver to change forward gears under normal driving conditions.
See Stall (engine) and Automatic transmission
Clutch
A clutch is a mechanical device that allows the output shaft to be disconnected from the rotating input shaft.
Dashpot
A dashpot, also known as a damper, is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction.
See Stall (engine) and Dashpot
Electric spark
An electric spark is an abrupt electrical discharge that occurs when a sufficiently high electric field creates an ionized, electrically conductive channel through a normally-insulating medium, often air or other gases or gas mixtures.
See Stall (engine) and Electric spark
Energy
Energy is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light.
Engine
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy.
Engine control unit
An engine control unit (ECU), also called an engine control module (ECM), is a device which controls multiple systems of an internal combustion engine in a single unit.
See Stall (engine) and Engine control unit
Formula One
Formula One, commonly known as Formula 1 or F1, is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
See Stall (engine) and Formula One
Formula Three
Formula Three, also called Formula 3, abbreviated as F3, is a third-tier class of open-wheel formula racing.
See Stall (engine) and Formula Three
Formula Two
Formula Two (F2 or Formula 2) is a type of open-wheel formula racing category first codified in 1948.
See Stall (engine) and Formula Two
Fuel
A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work.
Fuel starvation
In an internal combustion engine, fuel starvation is the failure of the fuel system to supply sufficient fuel to allow the engine to run properly, for example due to blockage, vapor lock, contamination by water, malfunction of the fuel pump or incorrect operation, leading to loss of power or engine stoppage.
See Stall (engine) and Fuel starvation
Idle air control actuator
An idle air control actuator or idle air control valve (IAC actuator/valve) is a device commonly used in fuel-injected vehicles to control the engine's idling rotational speed (RPM).
See Stall (engine) and Idle air control actuator
Ignition system
Ignition systems are used by heat engines to initiate combustion by igniting the fuel-air mixture.
See Stall (engine) and Ignition system
IndyCar
IndyCar, LLC (stylized as INDYCAR), is an auto racing sanctioning body for American open-wheel car racing headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
See Stall (engine) and IndyCar
Manual transmission
A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system, where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually a foot pedal for cars or a hand lever for motorcycles).
See Stall (engine) and Manual transmission
Stall torque
Stall torque is the torque produced by a mechanical device whose output rotational speed is zero. Stall (engine) and Stall torque are machines and mechanics.
See Stall (engine) and Stall torque
Torque converter
A torque converter is a device, usually implemented as a type of fluid coupling, that transfers rotating power from a prime mover, like an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load.
See Stall (engine) and Torque converter
