Starting when idling

[AlanS]

just out of interest, when the car is idling and if you accidently start the engine again.
will this cause any harm to the engine or starter motor? i know the noise doesnt sound good. :shock:

It wont do any harm, once or twice but try not to make a habit out of it :lol:

 

[logik]

You talking about when the engine is already started and you turn the key again? Everyone might do that once a year, not going to cause any harm if thats the case.

yeh thought i'd try to see if my engine start button will still work if the car is already running. :lol:

Your more likely to screw the teeth on the starter motor or flywheel than any long term serious damage if you do it often.
