How To Push-start A Car With A Dead Battery by obafemee80(m): 5:03pm On Aug 04, 2017 |
[img]http:///a/img923/8290/8ACld9.png[/img] When you car doesn’t start,there can be several things at fault,including: A blown ignition fuse A bad battery A damaged starter motor A discharged battery as a result of leaving the lights on A faulty ignition switch A poorly operating starter Whatever be the cause,it is possible to push start a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission even if you don’t have access to a set of jumper cables. Here's how to get your car started without the use of jumper cables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pj4GY_7q8w Step 1: Turn ignition on Turn your ignition to the "on" position. Step 2: Engage clutch;put into gear Press the clutch firmly to the floor and put the car into gear. Tip: Push starting a car in second gear allows you to start it smoothly and without a big jolt. Step 3: Push car Have your friend or friends push the car until you have achieved a speed of five to 10 miles per hour. Tip: Let your friends know when you are about to pop the clutch so that they can get out of the way. Step 4: Release clutch Release the clutch pedal slowly. Tip: Don't be afraid to give the engine a little gas at this stage,but not too much. Step 5: Drive Drive for a short distance after you feel the car start; just to make sure that the vehicle is actually running. Don't forget to go back for your friends.

How Push-Starting Works A manual transmission is designed like a direct drive system:The engine usually propels the vehicle by turning the transmission,but once it’s already in motion,a manual transmission can keep the engine running because of its momentum. When you press down the clutch pedal,the transmission is disengaged from the flywheel on the back of the engine and it “freewheels.” The engine can rev but the vehicle will not be propelled forward in gear. When you release the clutch pedal,the clutch engages with the flywheel on the engine’s crankshaft and the transmission input turns at the same speed as the engine. Whenever you start your car,the starter motor turns the flywheel to begin the combustion process inside the engine.By push starting a car,you essentially use the vehicle’s momentum to act in the same fashion as the starter motor.

If you havent learnt to do this since you started driving, that means you were born abroad and just got back to Nigeria yesterday. BTW, you cant do the same on cars with automatic transmission gearboxes. Cardoctor 3 Likes |

For automatic transmission vehicles, do jump-start. |

Back in the days I could do it alone. Used to drive a Volkswagen kombi bus. Here was the process: - put on ignition - open drivers door and push and get just a little momentum... helps if the road in sloping downwards but a level road was okay. - jump in, throw gear lever into second gear and let go of the clutch. - always worked for me. 7 Likes |

I think every automatic car owner need to have a jumper cable. And also be very nice to help jump start an automatic car owner in need. |
Re: How To Push-start A Car With A Dead Battery by drwesley2017(m): 7:55am On Aug 07, 2017 |
the spark is supplied by the alternator generating electricity, and that completes the combustion, it is not the pushing that does the job. A completely dead battery will never START A CAR. 5 Likes
