Which makes me wonder:
What is the right procedure to start the car (hey ..., don't yell "newbie" yet ...).
I prefer small cranks (<1 sec) thinking that this way I am treating
my battery better. But if there is a factory switch for 3 secs, then I
should prefer one long crank.
Right ? Wrong ? Any comments ?
