What happens here

Josh gets into the Jeep to demonstrate the starting issue. He explains that he has to pump the gas pedal repeatedly and then hold it to the floor for the engine to finally start. Once started, he points out an exhaust leak, which he describes as a 'tick' that is not noticeable at idle but becomes very clear when accelerating.

Goal: Josh demonstrates the difficult starting procedure of the Jeep and points out an audible exhaust leak when the engine is running.
