  • How to start a car. Don't just start a car that hasn't run in a while. In this video I show you what to check before you attempt to start a car that has not run for 6 months or more so you don't damage the engine.

Watching your videos gave me confidence and knowledge and yesterday I just bought an '04 mustang. I'm really excited to have the knowledge and the ability now to feel comfortable with cars. Thanks for what you do.

    Hey Chris, you have inspired me to become a mechanic. Your videos inspired me to become one, it’s not some desk job, where you are sitting there punching keys all day for the rest of your life. New cars come in a lot, giving new experiences every time. I actually am going to register for my first semester of mechanic class for my senior year of high school. Just wanted to give thanks ❤

    What an awesome video! Exactly the information I needed, especially the fogging fluid! I never even knew of such a thing, and I was rather worried about the cylinder walls and pistons. I'm about to get my precious car back from a 2-year impound, and I really don't want to damage the internals, when doing so.
    Thank you for doing this great, informative video (with clear and concise instructions)! I hope you're getting paid well for these videos, because you sure deserve it!

I've replaced the switch and tried all the adjusting I possibly could but still no good. I'm not ready to take it to the shop just yet, but I do need to move it. If you have any info either way, I'd appreciate it.
