Abstract
A method of reducing vehicle component loading variations on an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle includes the step of receiving a request to actuate a vehicle component and modifying a spark timing sequence for each spark plug of the internal combustion engine. The method also includes the step of actuating said vehicle component. The method further includes opposing a vehicle component torque generated by said actuation of said vehicle component with an adjustment of the internal combustion engine torque by reverting said modification of said spark timing sequence of each spark plug of the internal combustion engine.
