There are a couple of tips and tricks that you can find online and while some of them work, most of them might not, depending on the type of car you have or the issue it’s suffering from. But, one of the most intriguing hacks that I found while browsing the internet is this one by Shake the Future on YouTube. It’s a little trick that’s very smart and handy because it uses only a flat rope and some arm strength to work. However, it’s also best to note that this hack would not work with just any car and is only recommended for petrol cars, the smaller the engine, the better.

Step 2: He then proceeded to prepare his car and put it in the 3rd gear.

Step 4: Then, he pulled the rope really hard to give it a jump start, the force should be strong enough to get the wheels spinning.
