Eli5: When a car stops randomly or won’t start up, why does pushing the car get it started?
In: 4
it only works for manual transmission cars. and only if the car starter is the problem.
the starter for the car is the component responsible for getting the engine spinning. if that part is bad, then you can manually get the engine going by engaging the transmission, pushing the car (which spins the transmission, which spins the engine).
