Engine vs Motor
I say "tuh-mey-toh", you say "tuh-mah-toh"
I say "engine", you say "motor"
Engine: "A motor car (automobile) has a starter motor and motors to drive pumps (fuel, power steering, etc) – but the power plant that propels the car is called an engine."
Let the friendly discussions begin ...... please ......

An engine is a device which produces kinetic energy from a fuel source; a motor is a device which produces kinetic energy from other forms of energy such as electricity, a flow of hydraulic fluid or compressed air.
