If you’re like most people, you probably don’t know how to start a car the right way. You might try to turn the key, but that’s usually not enough. You might have to crank it for a long time before it starts. The right way to start a car is with the key in the ignition and the engine running. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Put the key in the ignition and turn it to the “on” position.
  2. Push down on the gas pedal until you feel a strong resistance. Don’t release your grip on the pedal yet!
  3. Keep your foot on the gas pedal and turn the key all of the way around until you hear a click. (If you don’t hear a click, make sure you’ve turned it all of the way around.)
  4. Release your grip on the gas pedal and wait about two seconds before trying to start your car again. ..
