If you are asking about a steam engine, the answer is no.
If you are asking about a gas or diesel engine, the answer is yes because the starter motor, the fuel pump and the ecu (engine control unit) all need electricity.
In addition, most cars, trucks and motorbikes need electricity for other things such as the lights, the radio and the horn.

How much electricity will consume to start a train engine?
It has to use alot of energy
Who are the Filipino scientist who invented solar engine about electricity?
Gregorio Velasquez was the filipino scientist who invented the solar engine
When do you use a circuit?
Anytime you ask electricity to do anything for you. Turn on light bulbs, start a car, run ann engine, watch TV. Anytime electrical power is used.
What is the main use of hydropower?
creates electricity
What do they use for a power source in factories?
Electricity

What energy source does a train use to move?
A diesel engine creates electricity and the electricity powers the electric motors that drive the wheels
Is it possible to obtain electricity from biogas without a steam engine or turbine?
You could use a Sterling Cycle heat engine.
Who is the Filipino inventor of solar engine that generates electricity for home use?
Jesus Alvero
How do we use electricity?
We use electricity in many home appliances such as toasters, TV, stove, oven etc. Without electricity, we wouldn't have much fun and we'd have to cook on logs like the pioneers!We use electricity in many things in our homes: electric lights, home appliances such as toaster, microwave, fridge, tv, washer, dryer, etc.Also we use electricity in our cars (and trucks) which need the electricity stored in on-board batteries. The battery is used to supply electricity to the starter motor which first makes the engine turn so that it can run on its own fuel (gas or diesel). Electricity is then used to recharge the battery, to drive the fuel pumps - which supply the engine with more fuel from the fuel tank - to power the lights, etc.
Can wood be burned to generate electricity?
Yes. A steam engine can be used to generate electricity. Obviously, you can boil water with wood. Although, The Navy prefers to use Nuclear Power.
Can all electric cars use gas?
There are no internal combustion engine parts in a electric car. The Electric car will not use gas but electricity from batteries.
If a motor is spun will it create electricity?
Probably- it is the alternator of generator that makes the electricity. It is usually connected by a belt to the engine, so that when the engine turns it turns and when it turns, it generates electricity.
How do you maintain a car battery?
You shouldn't use anything that uses electricity like lights, radio, etc. when the engine is off
What is a dizzy on engine?
A 'Dizzy' is the distribution cap which distributes electricity to the engine.
Do glow plugs stay on after ignition?
Glow plugs need electricity while starting the engine. After that, they do not use electricity, but stay red hot due to the heat of combustion and pressure within the cylinder.
How engine works with electricity?
I assume that your question is how you can use an engine to obtain electricity. If so, the idea is the following: You burn a fuel inside the combustion chamber of the engine. What this will do is to convert the chemical energy of the fuel molecules into thermal energy. You can then use some kind of rotor (turbine) that converts this thermal energy into mechanical energy by rotating the turbine. The mechanical energy is transmitted via an axle that connects the turbine to an electric generator. Simplifying, a generator comprises of a magnet that rotates inside a coil and electricity is then generated inside the coil of this generator via induction. That's how you obtain electricity from a combustion engine. I hope I understood your question correctly.
