Is stop/start bad for engine?

Stop/Start systems aren't as potentially damaging as cold starts, though, simply because the engine isn't cold. Not only are the engines at operating temperature before the stop/start system begins to work, the vehicles also use electric water pumps to maintain optimal engine temperature when they're stopped.

How do start/stop systems work?

The concept of the stop-start system is simple. It automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle is at rest to cut fuel use and eliminate idle emissions. It then restarts the engine automatically when the driver lifts off the brake (or puts in the clutch to select 1st gear) to get going again.
