Great write up man, this is one of those simple things that everyone should know how to do, but few of us do.

Thanks

Oh and I love the exclamation point.

Turn off the car and remove the four screws holding the spark plug cover!

Good info, but why is this sticky'd? Shouldn't it just be linked from one of the FAQs or DIY stickies?

Great write up, as I've always wondered how to crank the car, now I do

I'll have to give this a try this weekend.

you mention about disableing the fuel system but you didn't mention about disableing the ignition system unless you are disableing it when you remove the clip that is on the coil. i was told to step and hold onto the gas pedal while cranking the engine over when you begin and you should only give it four puffs to see reading or does it not matter.
