engine restart

Motor starting again

An engine restart is the process of stopping and then starting an engine again, whether in vehicles, aircraft, or machinery.

The term appears frequently in aviation, where an in-flight engine restart follows an engine failure or shutdown.

In computing, restarting an engine refers to reinitializing a software component: The game engine restart fixed the glitch.
