Something that may be helpful if you own a car and live in Canada (or the northern regions of the U.S.A.) is to know what the automaker suggests as the optimum starting procedures. I know, I know, first, the fancier new ones merely require you to put your foot on the break pedal and press the "Start" button; however, a second option for us plebs with cars that require an ignition key and the twisting thereof, may need different associated procedures.
My current Dodge, is best if you keep your foot off all pedals, and as I twist the ignition key to initiate the ignition process, I press the accelerator pedal twice.
My 1978 Ford, preferred it if you pressed the accelerator to the floor before turning the ignition key on and holding it down until the firing process kicked in.
If you do not know what is best for your car, might I suggest you open the Owner's Handbook and see what it says. (!) One upon a time, it used to tell you handy tips like that. Or, you could ask "Siri" or "Alex" or perhaps simply your "Car Guy" --- who of course, may very easily be a "Car Gal".
