Abstract
Systems and methods for operating an engine that may be automatically stopped and started responsive to vehicle operating conditions are disclosed. In one example, the engine may be automatically started after it has been automatically stopped in response to a driver applying a brake pedal while the vehicle's transmission is engaged in park. The engine may be started to increase transmission pump pressure prior to engaging a gear to reduce vehicle launch time.
