There were only a few cars in history the "Ignition System" started the car.
For Example: The Rolls Royce cars in the early 20 th century had a system that allowed you to quickly advance the ignition lever and the car would start.
In modern cars The ignition system starts to make a spark at exactly the right moment when the starter rolls the engine over.
The terminoligy we use for how we start cars is due to the use of the Ignition Switch to also control the starter.

What is a wet start in turbine engines?
Normally when starting a turbine engine, the starter is used to get the turbine up to operational speeds, then fuel is pumped in with the ignition active. A "wet start" is a start where the engine is being started with a quantity of fuel already pooled in the engine (perhaps the result of a previous failed start) or the pilot delays ignition beyond what is normal and allows fuel to pool in the engine before ignition. Wet starts can result in a fire plume or a loud bang, and may damage the engine. The most dramatic damage will be to the compresser turbine blades due to pressure and heat failure.
