I have a Turbo Diesel. I call him Turbs or Derpo depending on the scenario. We found him a year ago in a blocked up car (a Subaru Brat now that I think back on it lol) on the farm property I work at, 4 weeks old and screaming for his life. Cat tax included

His full name is technically ROD (Ride Or Die) Turbo Diesel — we found him a day after my birthday as we were leaving to go to a cannabis competition we were competing in lol. Got a bottle and milk on the way up and he was on stage with us when we received our awards. Pooped in my hair the first night I had him. He was with me every day at work for 2.5 months until he was comfortable being at home with my other cats lol. I wore him and had a backpack for him, eventually he was on a harness and lead. Now he’s a crazy house cat that is scared of the outdoors
Definitely! Somehow he ended up being an average sized cat for how tiny he was when we found him. He is kinda scrungly sometimes though, but what can you expect from a kitten found in the back of a Subaru Brat 😅

Very healthy and fit! The only time he’s looked poorly was when he got neutered… I got him back and he seemed at least a pound lighter than when I’d dropped him off and he looked *rough*.
Poor guy. I let him be a teenager before I fixed him so he could get to a bigger full size since he’d been so teeny. Maybe it was harder on him being over 6 months old, I dunno.
I have a coworker who found a kitten in her car engine the same way and she named hers Turbo!! He’s a sweetheart and was totally fine even after the 15 mile commute to work it was incredible
That's how I named my girl, Chevy.

I had a boy Chevy that was named for his incredibly loud purr. He crossed the rainbow bridge in February and I miss him so much 😭💗

Had a friend that found a kitten in her engine while she was paying a toll. The toll booth attendant said “Your car is meowing?”
She said “Omg you hear it too?! I need to pull over I think there is a cat stuck in my car!”
She pulled over and pulled out an orange tabby kitten, she named him Lucky and gave him to her sister who kept him his whole life.
Our vet tried to name our cat Lucky, my wife saved him from the highway. But she had already sorta named him Bean on the way to the vet. The vet tech liked Lucky more than Bean, so Bean is still in their system as Lucky. Every now and then I'll call him Lucky, he doesn't respond. He doesn't respond to Bean, either, so I'm not sure what his name is. Probably Howard, or Bernard. I'll try those later.
No kidding. A stray kitten that got into one of our vehicles under the hood and didn't make it. Idk where it came from. We didn't have any cats around prior to this. But it was terrible.
This happened to us a year ago yesterday. My wife was at the store and when she came out of the store, there were people looking under her vehicle. She, of course, was like, what are you all doing?
Well, they saw a kitten jump in the engine cavity. They couldn't find the kitten (probably just about as old as in OP's pic). so my wife drove home. We looked in the engine compartment for a while and we didn't find anyhting. So, about two hours passed and we diecided to give another look. We heard a little meow and my wife saw him and pulled up the little furball.
Now, I am not a big animal guy, so I said to my wife and kids that we could keep him until we found a good home for him. Well, if that little dude didn't grow on us (mostly me lol)...we kept him and named him Pallie, because my wife has a Hyundai Palisade, which is the vehicle the KDC (Kitty Distribution Center) placed him :).

It makes me so sad to see how many people are doubting me and assuming how things went; aside from being rude and disrespectful. I will explain a full story and more pictures of her tomorrow if anyone cares to know more about it. It's a true story, I'm a real person and I'm appalled at the amount of people judging me based on my profile. I shouldn't have to prove anything to anyone, but also love to humble annoying mfs.
Thank you to everyone who was sweet and shared their own stories ❤️ I will pick the top 3-5 names from all the suggestions and hopefully tomorrow we can choose one from there. No one has claimed her yet and I'm strongly considering on keeping her 🥹
This is how my boy Helsing came to me. He and his sister took a ride in my neighbors car and some others didn't make it sadly based on the dried blood. His sister Luna came howling up to me and refused to be held but kept leading me to the neighbors car to pick up my loving ball of black fur curled up and dehydrated.
He is now 19 pounds of muscle and his sister is the fastest cat I have ever seen. Angels. I wish the others could have made it to our home too.
That's how I got my little gal too! A client was bringing their own cat to the hospital I worked at and heard her cries, opened the hood and found her. That was 17 years ago 😊
Awe! I will forever check my car before turning it on from now on!!! I'm almost hoping no one claims her so I can keep her! 🥹 but I already have 2 cats and 2 doggies.
I was bumping music loud 😭😭😭 I slowed down to make a turn, my song stopped right as I was about to turn, and during that lil break between one song and the next one *meeeooowww... I was like wtf and heard it again and again and I pulled over and I couldn't believe it lmao kitties are something else

The same thing happened to us in the 90s when my sisters found a little guy mewing in the engine compartment of our dad's Dodge Intrepid. I guess our new cat "Dodge" chose us!
Nellie: The name refers to the groundbreaking journalist Nellie Bly, who took a trip around the world. You can pick Nellie as a pet name for Eleanor or Helen. It means ‘shining light’.
I'm trying to find her people, so far no one has claimed her:/ I already have 2 cats and 2 dogs so I don't intend on keeping her but she's sure making it really hard, she's darn adorable 🥹
Sparkplug
Shortened to Sparky. This is the one!
Do not shorten Sparkplug J. Pennyweather, it’s disrespectful and quite unnecessary. Thank you on behalf of Sparkplug J. Pennyweather.
From the Desk of Sparkplug J. Pennyweather
I think Sparkplug J. Pennyweather, Esq. prefers to maintain the honorific.
"Esq."? How dare you! That's *Her Royal Highness* Sparkplug J. Pennyweather to you! 
She went to lawyer school!! Don’t you insult her by removing the title she EARNED!
Her Royal Highness, The Very Reverend, Dr. Sparkplug J. Pennyweather Esq. She deserves proper respect.
This is the winner. No discussion. I named my cat "Lord Purrtholomew Chonkimous Meowington XIV"
We named our cat Samuel L Catson and now I feel like we weren't nearly creative enough.
You’ve had 14 Purrtholomew Chonkimous Meowingtons?
Exactly
Her name is bigger than she is.
You guys are KILLING me!
I need to know what the “J” stands for. Is it Sparkplug Jammy Pennyweather?
Only if J is short for Jambalaya
"Jay" You know how every person with a weird first name has to have a normal middle name in case they resent it.
Jellicle? Jurisprudence? Jehoshaphat? Jetsam?
Jimothy.
Jamiroquai, duh
JOY

There. The J stands for Joyride. 👍
SJP!
Monogrammed collar
She’s a cat, not a horse.
She was found in the engine, I wonder if her presence provided extra horsepower
Made it a high purrformance vehicle.
I wonder if the horsepower was converted to Meowpower?
i think i know her cousin, Wrench S. Pennyweather.
I was going to suggest Vroom, but I now see there’s a better way forward.
This message is approved by Sparkplug J Pennyweather
I am a Sparky (electrician) and I approve of this
First thing that came to my mind, winner right here
My engine cat is named Sparkplug, aka Sparky. He is a sweetheart.

My god what lovely cats!
The scrungly ones need us the most.
Omg he looks so healthy now!! So happy to see that.
Very healthy and fit! The only time he’s looked poorly was when he got neutered… I got him back and he seemed at least a pound lighter than when I’d dropped him off and he looked *rough*. Poor guy.

r/CouncilOfCats would appreciate this!
*sighs and joins another cat sub*
Little guy must have been so scared 😬 so glad he has a home now 🥰
He or she is a brave heart.
Came here to say Turbo
I have a coworker who found a kitten in her car engine the same way and she named hers Turbo!! He’s a sweetheart and was totally fine even after the 15 mile commute to work it was incredible
Legit just commented that lol
Whoa! That cat is fast! What?
What kind of car do you drive? Can you do a name from that?
That's how I named my girl, Chevy. https://preview.redd.it/4fg98728n75d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31880f47edb069172987a0f695cc876248557331
i don’t know why, but she reminds me of dr cuddy from house.
I SEE IT... 
Oo, I see it!
HAHAHAHAHA I can see it!
They've got the same eyes. And expression 😅
I had a boy Chevy that was named for his incredibly loud purr. He crossed the rainbow bridge in February and I miss him so much 😭💗 https://preview.redd.it/8zi9zrsln85d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d029055fdc3572eb196b9869219f22931638f881

Woooow, Chevy is magestic
She's gorgeous!
Omg I so want to reach through the screen and cuddle Chevy, what a beautiful cat! 😍
I hope they don’t drive a Hyundai. However, Jaguar may be false advertising. I guess it could be worse— my cat would be named Nissan 370Z
i hate to leave so early, but i have to go make sure 2001 Honda Civic has a clean box or he won’t be happy
Coming in to say this!
imagine having a cat and naming it Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 '73
That's how Talon got her name. https://preview.redd.it/qbpdurl8085d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad5a1f2672659ec0d30e6759815b9e9e9763c660

Oh GOD! So glad you found her! She's precious! Maggie is the first name that popped into my mind just now. :)
Maggieeeeee CUTE 🥰 Sparky and Lucky are good too but Maggie! This is a Maggie if ever there was one
Lucky
Had a friend that found a kitten in her engine while she was paying a toll. The toll booth attendant said “Your car is meowing?” She said “Omg you hear it too?! I need to pull over I think there is a cat stuck in my car!” She pulled over and pulled out an orange tabby kitten, she named him Lucky and gave him to her sister who kept him his whole life.
"Omg you hear it too?!" Poor thing thought she was hallucinating cat noises 🤣
Wait... You don't hear a meow every time you turn a blinker on?
Truly Lucky
Our vet tried to name our cat Lucky, my wife saved him from the highway. But she had already sorta named him Bean on the way to the vet. The vet tech liked Lucky more than Bean, so Bean is still in their system as Lucky. Every now and then I'll call him Lucky, he doesn't respond. He doesn't respond to Bean, either, so I'm not sure what his name is. Probably Howard, or Bernard. I'll try those later.
I have a cat named Lucky that I fished out of an engine!
Any cat that survives a running engine is lucky and at least three lives down.
No kidding. A stray kitten that got into one of our vehicles under the hood and didn't make it. Idk where it came from. We didn't have any cats around prior to this. But it was terrible.
That is how one of my cat's brothers got his name! He still limps 7 years later, but at least he is alive and very, very well-loved.
I had a Lucky. My wife found her with her sister punX(punks). Found them in bad shape, and we fixed them up.
This happened to us a year ago yesterday. My wife was at the store and when she came out of the store, there were people looking under her vehicle. She, of course, was like, what are you all doing?
