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.
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.
