A few years ago a friend of mine had a Nissan Nivara which had an anti-stall engine. It was a diesel 2.4 IIRC. I remember "playing" with it by sitting on a slight incline, 1st gear (high), no throttle and just dropping the clutch. It would lurch around and smoke like a Chinese power station but stall it would not. It could handle 2nd gear most of the time as well.
How did this work? Was there just a governor (reverse governor?) which when the RPM dropped it would just dump diesel in in an attempt to keep running?
Why would they not continue features like this? It would be an easy thing to do with engines with ECUs.
