Engine idling refers to running a vehicle's engine when the vehicle is not in motion. This common practice happens in various situations, such as waiting at traffic signals, warming up the engine in cold weather, or using air conditioning/heating while parked. Idling consumes fuel without moving the vehicle, leading to unnecessary fuel consumption and increased emissions of pollutants like carbon dioxide, contributing to air pollution and climate change. Extended idling can also lead to engine wear and reduced efficiency over time. Various campaigns and technologies, such as stop-start systems in modern vehicles, aim to reduce unnecessary idling, promoting fuel savings and emission reductions.

Even when the vehicle is stopped or not moving. the engine will continue to run. In cold climates. this is done in order to keep the engine and the interior warm. However. excessive idling wastes fuel and causes unnecessary wear and tear on the engine. Also. many places have laws prohibiting prolonged idling because it contributes to air pollution.
