What happens here

Attempt to start the truck's engine by turning the ignition key. If the engine cranks but doesn't start, introduce a small amount of starting fluid into the air intake and immediately reattempt starting. The engine should fire up and begin to idle, albeit with an audible exhaust leak.

Goal: Get the truck's engine to start
