In this video, I demonstrate a way to start your car (when the battery is dead) without pushing it or using jumper cables.
That's why you should always keep a rope in the car.
This will work the best on petrol cars. I did try it on diesel, but it did not work.
Your car needs to have a manual transmission.
My brother told me that he saw my dad doing it, so I decided to try it out.
You are suppose to jack up the front wheel (on a front wheel drive car) and put the car in the 3rd gear.
Wrap the rope around the wheel and pull it.
If you're lucky (and strong), the car will start.
------------------
☠Warning:☠
As mentioned in the video, It will NOT work on any car.
Trying to start the car this way can be Dangerous.

Thank you 🙏. I had no other choice and it worked. Just do it in 3rd gear.

@punto755 7 лет назад

Thanks man , gr8 idea , just did it with my punto (i had battery full but wanted to try) I had to try 3 times until i manage to get the right speed , but finally it worked .!

@tang7334 7 лет назад

has to be open diff car!!!

@rafee9442 7 лет назад

thats what i was thinking, since it uses one wheel

@tang7334 7 лет назад

Haha. otherwise, things can go very wrong! lol

@stehlajz 7 лет назад

And without Anti-slip regulation, otherwise it can start to brake the wheel in air and the car can fall down from the jack.

@jamesgu1467 7 лет назад

If it's a LSD, then you won't be able to pull the rope anyway :)

@KTMcaptain 7 лет назад

James Gu jeep had an lsd from 99 to 2004 that was an open did with an oil pump. when a wheel would spin the pump would lock the diff. chevy also has their g80 locker that is open until a wheel spins faster then it mechanically locks. there are also viscous differentials that jeep and Subaru have used which are extremely slow in transferring torque.

@runinwitsizors7588 7 лет назад

@BLLBCZ 6 лет назад

It works! I try it today on Mitsubishi colt 2008 1.300ccm Thanks a lot mate! 😉

@DiodeGoneWild 5 лет назад

Winding the rope around your palm/wrist is extremely dangerous. The rope can wind back onto the tyre in the other direction, pulling you towards it, winding your hand or even your entire body on it. You have to hold the rope in such a way that you can easily let go in case it winds back.

@JonathanGameHD 3 года назад

WOW. youre really here!

@Lucius_murrius 2 года назад

No it's against physics laws , when u pulled the wheel the wheel will go forward and he is in front of it there's no chance that the wheel will go backwards

@AsiAzzy 7 лет назад

Another twist is starting with the rope on a pulley on the engine. Can be done on older tractors with big pulley for flat belts. Get a rope around that, be in neutral, and pull away. The pulley is connected to the engine. The gearbox being in neutral will not turn the wheels. Same thing can be done on PTO - but you need an attachment on that PTO to provide you a large diameter pulley to wrap the rope around, and even so the PTO have massive gearing needing a really big lever to turn the engine from the PTO (but theoretically is possible to start from PTO)

@adamasz54 7 лет назад

Genius in simplicity - congrats for super idea!!! Voltage does not drop in this case cause car starter has not been engaged. Thus even nearly dead battery would give sparks. And second driven wheel on the road ensures proper energy flow: from hand to motor. Presume 2nd gear set is optimum?

@rickkrockstar 5 лет назад

I could see this working in a survival situation were battery died and are stuck in snow or position, where you cannot push start car. Nice hack!

@compuw22c 7 лет назад

Cool video, but you'd better hope you don't have traction control... If you have traction control, the car will pulse the brake on the wheel that's "spinning" (in this case the wheel jacked up) and when it hits the brake on the spinning wheel, it'll force the non-spinning wheel (the one on the ground) to spin, which will likely make the car jerk forward, fall off the jack and drive down the street. Still cool though if you know what you're doing

@adas67 7 лет назад

no, it won't ,because rear wheels are not moving. It just popup ESP error on dashboard.

@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20 7 лет назад

@i.g.noreme825 7 лет назад

Finally something I could actually use. Now don't get me wrong here most of your videos are really good and I could even make some of them myself if I had time but this is something actually useful. For example I'm not sure if I really need a syringe that cuts my sausages but somebody might need it. I dunno. Anyway keep up the good work :)

@ShakeTheFuture 7 лет назад

Ha, that's true :-) My girfriend actually uses the syringe to cut carrots, but it's not for everone. This trick is indeed useful, but unfortunately will not work on every car. I tried to start 1.9 diesel, but could not. The rope was too short or I am too weak :-)

yes, in st. Louis we call it pop start and it works for stick shifts

@param802 7 лет назад

great brooooo

@dofishbuster 7 лет назад

Lets not forget in your case it also needs to be front wheel drive. Also what happens if you have a wheel power transfer system that when one wheel free spins it transfers power to the other on the ground and well the car comes off the jack and runs you over?

@bojank.9384 7 лет назад

I would like to hear an answer to your questions as well since I was wondering exactly the same. :)

@MuhammadFarzanHussain 7 лет назад

That won't happen as the e-brake is already applied. And as a precautionary step, I will suggest to put heavy/large rock on the both ends of each tyre that are on the ground to stop them from moving. The reason why the car won't run you over? Firstly, I believe the engine would simply stall if you try to start driving it on a 3rd gear. And that too, without any acceleration. Secondly, even if the powers got transferred to other wheels then the engine would stall within a matter of seconds because of these 2 factors: 1. Rocks placed on the front and back of all three tyres that are on the ground, 2. E-brake is applied. So, it will not run you over. I hope this helps. :)

@bojank.9384 7 лет назад

+Mohammad Farzan Hussain Yes, this helps, however i would still be kinda afraid cause its hard to know which wheels are pulling the cars, because if back wheels are pulling, by simple logic i think spinning front wheel won t have any effect, dont u think?

@MuhammadFarzanHussain 7 лет назад

Precisely. Depends on the drivetrain. If you have a rear wheel drive car then you need to do this on the rear tyre. This is kinda risky but helpful in many cases, like when there's no one around to help you push-start the car. I believe it is always better to be knowledgeable about the possibilities. :)

@rodrigonh 7 лет назад

Hey dofishbuster. It will never happen (at least not in condition show in the video). All normal city (passenger) cars are differential driven: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical_device) One wheel is strongly "fixed" at ground the other is totally free on the air, all the work will be transferred to the free wheel. As analogy, think of a 10ohm resistor wired in parallel with a 100000000ohm resistor, electrons will just prefer the 10ohm path :)

@nobodynoone2500 2 года назад

Depends on the car. Most normal cars have an open differential. Some sporty and luxury cars will have a limited slip differntial requiring all drive wheels to be elevated.

@catman2099 7 лет назад

@hgri89 7 лет назад

Kudos for thinking outside the box, however cars that are AWD or have a proper LSD diff in them will not work and if it does the car would probably drive off. (particularly if its a diesel which has enough torque most of the time to do so.) a petrol will just stall when it hits the ground most of the time, however there are some that have enough torque to body weight where they will recover and just keep going particular if its in first gear (my 1.5 liter Dihatsu charade for example will recover because it has a bigger engine than most in it.) Also what wasn't mentioned was if it is rear or front wheel drive. so many things could go wrong with this that it would just be safer to get some stranger to hep push.

@rihardskalnins7909 7 лет назад

I had a mazda 626 which had problems with starter. Not everytime, but sometimes many times in a row. There were days when I had to alone push my car to gain some speed, then jump in and put in gear to start engine. A lot quicker way to start a car, had a petrol 2.0 engine and sometimes could get it to start in less than 10 meter distance. Of course, this was a nice workout, especially if I had to push it up. Later I parked the car only in those ways, which would make rolling start easier.

@ShakeTheFuture 7 лет назад

It's a great exercise indeed. I have done the same. Park the car in places where it will be easier to push start :)

@writetoroby 4 года назад

Have a doubt. When we have one wheel lifted up with Jockey and other wheel of the ground. When we put the gear in 2nd and use rope method. Won't the car move forward. Should we engage the hand gear? Please confirm.

@CHIBA280CRV 7 лет назад

Good job ,but did you put the car in neutral or first gear ?

@judgestacker9472 7 лет назад

Just for everyone here, this dose work on this car and is not fake. You do not need to depress to clutch to prevent a stall because on open differential cars (99% of cars are open dif) only one wheel has to spin. This will work on only a select few cars and will not work if the battery is completely dead. This "pull start" as it is does not replace the need for the electric fuel pump, the PCM, or the electronic ignition, there still has to be enough power in the battery to run these systems otherwise you could spin the engine all day and with no fuel or spark and it will not start.

There is a video here somewhere of a guy starting a farm tractor in a similiar way except it has a bushhog attached to it and the PTO. Guy wrapped a big rope around the pto shaft and hooked it to a pickup truck, then drove away fast with PTO engaged. Turned it over including tractor engine and started. Very dangerous though.

@davidorr8194 7 лет назад

Aaaand, pertinent details omitted... The key must be turned to the FULL on position, also the vehicle must be in gear, 1st gear would be best. If you lack the strength 2nd gear may also work. It would not be helpful to try this with the key in the off position, or if the vehicle is not in 1st or 2nd gear. Also, take the vehicle out of gear before lowering the jack. If you think that this is all common sense, remember there have been people whom have set their new RV on cruise control and proceeded to head to the back to make a sandwich.

@jammccockin8304 4 года назад

He shows all those steps that you said he omitted.

@davidorr8194 4 года назад

@Navneet Gautam BBA Regular It won't spin freely, it will require effort to rotate the tire by pulling the rope because the engine will be engaged and causing resistance. It may, in fact, require much effort. As the wheel begins to rotate you will also hear the engine begin to slowly turn over. The resistance is being caused by the compression of the pistons moving up and down inside the cylinders compressing the fuel as each piston reaches its top position. When the piston is almost at the top "fuel is compressed within the cylinder" the spark occurs causing the fuel to be ignited. If done with enough force "quickly enough" the engine will start. It may take a few repeat attempts before it fully starts and begins a stable idle.

@TitanicTruths 7 лет назад

@PotatoGunsRule 7 лет назад

This is a great idea! It has many stipulations, manual shift (as you pointed out) but also what sort of transmission (conventional, limited slip, AWD) but it would sure beat walking! I am going to share this to a truck collection/repair forum I belong to. Thanks! HOLD IT. I was speaking to my dad and he pointed out, this would only work if you had your car in neutral/clutch in and someone put it into gear/let out clutch when the wheel was turning. Can anyone confirm?

@miszcz310 Год назад

No, that is why he is lifting the car. So that differential would put everything in 'free' wheel. The problem here is that you need to be strong enough to spin the engine. If you would be pushing you could get momentum (on neutral) and use it to spin the engine for you (after puting it on gear).

@MartyChristianSoldier 7 лет назад

I love what people come up with when they have to, but I live right at the top of a hill, of course with automatic transmissions that does me absolutely no good. The mind just keeps going and going.

@RichardsWorld 7 лет назад

Manual transmission cars have a switch that won't let you start the car unless you push don't the clutch. Also you had the car in neutral, which means turning the wheel would do nothing to the engine. When someone "pops" the clutch to start a car, the car is moving and you need to "pop" the clutch. For what you did, you would still need to pop the clutch.

@ShakeTheFuture 7 лет назад

The car was in the 3rd gear not neutral. I even show it in the video - top right corner: 00:45

@RichardsWorld 7 лет назад

OK, can't really tell from the camera view. I'm guessing the clutch safety switch disables the starter, but you didn't use the starter so pressing down on the clutch is not needed.
