Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for operating a split exhaust engine system that provides blowthrough air and exhaust gas recirculation to an intake passage via a second exhaust manifold and exhaust gas to an exhaust passage via a first exhaust manifold. In one example, in response to an intake throttle being at least partially closed, intake air may be routed from the intake passage to the second exhaust manifold via an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) passage where the intake air may be heated via an EGR cooler. The heated intake air may then be routed to an intake manifold, downstream of the intake throttle, via a flow passage coupled between the second exhaust manifold and the intake manifold.
