  • In this video, I show you how to start a car with an automatic transmission. It may seem like basic car knowledge for someone that has been driving for many years; however, this is crucial information for a beginner driver or someone that wants to get their license soon. I outline all of the instructions in a step-by-step manner.

    I've been a mechanic for 10 years and you missed a step. Turn the key to the "on" position, then wait a couple seconds. I usually count 3 dings of the seat belt warning. This let fuel get to the motor and get under pressure as it needs since every car is now fuel injected. Also results in a smoother start. Just "turning it on" will result in fouled spark plugs which will require a $150 tune up sooner than it should be.

      Facts... I have a 97 Volvo 850 and I always wait a few seconds after turning ignition on and my girl who also occasionally drives it never does this and I just had to replace the spark plugs because the engine started idling very very low
