Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided for starting an engine via an electric turbocharger. In one example, a method for starting the engine via the electric turbocharger may include flowing compressed air from the electric turbocharger to cylinders of the engine to crank a crankshaft of the engine without a starter motor. The method may include adjusting an opening amount of electrically or pneumatically actuated intake valves and exhaust valves to reduce a force to crank the crankshaft.
