We are doing it every day, three times or four per day. The engine start has been never easier with the new technology mounted on the cars and just with a push of a button on the remote we can do it even from home. Waiting for the car to warm up in the winter without being inside freezing on the seat. All this technology has been changing over the years and it was made better. All of it, from the car batteries to the starter rotors to the dashboard keys, but the process of starting a car has been the same.

In fact the starting of the engine has been the same from the invention of the engine. The starter motor is the one that is going to turn the engine for a few turns until it starts. Well the power had to come from somewhere and the battery is there as well, it will be recharged as fast as the engine starts and you take the car out of the garage. So when you turn the key the engine start is about to happen. But what really is going on inside and how it is done without you knowing it?

You only hear that the engine has started and it is running idle. But there is a process that has been done just before you turned back the key and this process made the engine come alive. There are the heaters on the diesel engines and there are the electronic injectors on the petrol engines which don’t need heaters in order to start. All of this the host is going to explain and he will make it clear for you. So the next time that you perform an engine start you will exactly know what has just happened and why the engine started in the first place.
