Abstract
A method of operating a vehicle including an engine includes suspending operation of the engine during operation of the vehicle including stopping fueling of the engine. The method includes accelerating the engine to a high-speed starting speed with fueling of the engine stopped and a cylinder decompression mechanism activated, the high-speed starting speed being greater than an idle speed of the engine. The method includes resuming operation of the engine including deactivating the cylinder decompression mechanism at the high-speed starting speed and thereafter restarting fueling of the engine.
