An engines idle speed is a programmed function. We cannot directly adjust the engine idle speed on a modern vehicle. The power control module or PCM provides all adjustments to the idle speed. Though no external engine idle speed adjustments are possible, many things can and do cause problems.
In other words, stall speed is the engine RPM at which the torque converter transfers the power of the engine to the transmission. In the real world, the torque converter's stall speed roughly equates to the clutch engagement point on a manual transmission.Let's say you're driving your stick-shift car around town. Normally, you'd give the car a little gas and ease off the clutch pedal gently enough to get a smooth start.n this case, the stall speed is too high-it is literally impossible to get the engine's full power to the rear wheels! In order to access all of the engine's potential power, the stall speed must be lowered. Lowering the stall speed has another advantage: It reduces the transmission's temperature.
