First of all the vehicle must have a manual or (stick shift) transmission. Then you will... 1.)Turn the key on as you would normally and leave it ON. 2.)Push the clutch pedal to the floor and hold it there. 3.)While holing the clutch put the transmission in 2nd gear. 4.)Have someone else push the vehicle to 10mph or as close as you can get. 5.)Release the clutch pedal and push the gas pedal 1/2". The vehicle will shake a bit and will come to life this is when you need to depress the clutch again as to not stall the vehicle. Easy. 5 steps. Just make sure you have enough room to drive the car. ALSO** you can substitute step 4 if you can get the vehicle to roll downhill
