Starting Car with Push Button

[SLOWHATCH]

Ok, so I have my flame suit on for this one but I have been wondering about this and have not found anything relating to this question I have. Every other car I have owned has been a key start type. So turn the key to the acc and power, let fuel pump prime and then start the car. Seems to me that is the best way to go about it.

However, with the keyless start button, you can just push in the clutch and push the button and fire it right up.

So is it better to go through the cycles before starting the car to prime the FP, or can I just go straight to starting the car?

BTW, was not sure where to post this, so I apoligize if its in wrong section.

Just start the car...

Your brain is getting in the way

Just push the button. Pretty much every new car has push button now and they did research. If it was an issue you would have heard about it.


Also- I've never done the "prime" thing on any car I've ever driven even with a key and I've never had an issue

I know why, Monotonous has had a string of good shit lately. He had one comment on my STi thread I literally almost crapped myself at work. My co-workers thought/still think I was/am insane.

you only really need to prime the fuel pump after youve done things like replace the pump or disconnected lines and drained the fuel.
If you need to do this, hold the clutch and gas pedal al the way down while youre starting the car. This will let the motor turn over (priming the pump) but it wont let it start.

Unless you are starting the car for the first time after installing a new fuel pump, you can just start the car.

I thought this thread was gonna lead to how to manually start a car by rolling it down the hill and dumping the clutch in 1st gear with the PUSH button.

Lol, I figured someone would have thought this was going to be a tutorial on "how to start" your car. Surprised it came so late lol.

Thanks everyone for your responses and minimal flamming. You guys are alright.

I always do it, just a habit. Just like i let the car idle 30sec before i shut it off.

Prime the fuel pump is like for a carburetor injected car. Like Old School Shit.

Plus it literally takes 0.25 seconds for the pressure to come up according to the logs I take with the standalone.

You should always prime your car by turning the key to acc for a few seconds, get out ( with the key in the acc position still ) , open your gas door , remove the cap , insert penis and give 3 good hard pumps , re-enter the car and start if it gives u trouble repeat steps 1 - 6 . That's what I do and it hasn't failed me yet.

I was gonna come in here to tell him to make sure the slider is on choke before starting, but w/e. lol.
