How does pushing a car that won’t start help start it?
In: 1758
It turns the engine over by powering it backwards through the wheels. Sort of like the pull start on a lawnmower.
This will help if the battery or starter motor is dead, but generally won’t help if there’s more wrong that’s keeping the engine from starting(you need fuel, air, spark, and compression). Also requires a manual transmission, so you can disconnect the engine from the wheels to get the car moving, then reconnect it to start the engine.
