ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine has a plurality of engine cylinders with pistons which have a path of revolution therein. The one piston which is past a top dead center of its revolution at the beginning of the starting process is identified. Compressed air, at approximately 70 lb. pressure, is injected into the cylinder of that piston, forcing the piston to move such that the next piston in the firing order comes to past a top dead center position. At the same time, an ignition pulse is applied to the cylinder of the one piston for igniting any fuel which may be left in the cylinder and, in addition, fuel is injected into the fourth cylinder in the firing order from said cylinder with the one piston. This occurs for successive pistons until the engine starts.
