Help! I know that one of the tests of an FD engine is to make sure it starts quickly both cold and hot, but what is the definition of "quickly"? Is it click vroom, or chug vroom, or chugg chugg chugg vroom? (hope you know what I mean...) :xconfused or worse chugg chugg chugg splutter splutter vroom? Advise would be appreciated, Thanks :)
