its called a "dry start" and Many cars do it .. when the car sits for a little bit like 30 mins or more .. all( or atleast the most) of the oil runs back down to the oil pan .. once u start it .. it has to regain oil pressure to stop rattling...........................

If you fried your engine does your vehicle still start?

Well there are many different things that can go wrong with and engine and make them bad or "fried" as you put it. A few vague examples are: -If the engine is seized up it will not start. -If it does start up but knocking then it needs to be taken to a mechanic. Driving a car that knocks will only cause further damage. -A car with a blown head gasket will start and run usually but will overheat and cause further damage such as warping of the heads. If a car doesn't start it doesn't necessarily mean that the engine is "fried". There are many possibilities for why an engine will not start. Look up "no start" situations for the car make and model. Hope this helps.


What if you jump start a car without the other car with the good battery being on?

That's actually the preferred method. You hook up the jumper cables and attempt to start. If the car does not start immediately, you stop cranking and you start the other car, let the other car charge the first car for a bit, and then retry with the other car idling.

Your engine knocks when you cold start it because the motor oil is not viscous enough to lubricate crank bearings, cylinders, etc. warm it up first, engine will last alot longer
