Patent ID: 7784441

Claim:
A vehicle having: a direct-start engine; a fuel rail; a transmission; a controller operable for detecting the presence of a first and a second predetermined engine state of the direct-start engine; a fluid delivery system having a motor with a rotatable shaft, the motor being energized when the controller determines the presence of one of the first and the second predetermined engine state; and an integrated pump assembly including a high-pressure (HP) fuel pump that is selectively connected to the shaft for maintaining a threshold fuel pressure to the fuel rail during the first predetermined engine state, and a low-pressure (LP) fluid pump directly and continuously connected to the shaft for maintaining a threshold fluid pressure in the transmission during each of the first and the second predetermined engine states; wherein the controller is adapted for energizing the LP fluid pump via the shaft in response to each the first predetermined engine state and the second predetermined engine state, and for energizing the HP fuel pump via the shaft during the first predetermined engine state.
