    ICE is the engine as a whole. I just get the impression the ICE is just a part of an engine. The fuel system, air induction and advance mechanism (vacuum, electronics,etc) facilitate the increase in engine speed.

    The engine should maintain speed (atleast minimum capacity) even if the clutch starts to engage. The sudden load to the engine is obsorbed/desipated by the flywheel, pressure plate and torque converter.

    In diesels which is also an internal combustion engine, the pistons, cylinder and turbo acts as an air pump. The increase in fuel injected at an ideal compression ratio will increase engine speed therefore increasing air pumping capabilities.
