Abstract
Methods of operating internal combustion engines are provided. A controller detects a coasting event while an associated vehicle is in motion. In response to the coasting event, the controller directs at least a portion of an exhaust gas output by an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle into an intake system of the internal combustion engine.
