Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a vehicle powertrain that includes a power take-off are presented. In one non-limiting example, engine speed may be adjusted to increase engine efficiency during conditions when the engine is operating at idle conditions for longer than a threshold amount of time so that fuel consumption and wear may be reduced.
