Hi all,

My son and I just picked up another TR7 to use as a parts car. It's in fairly
decent shape and did run recently - won't turn over now.
ISTR from my early days with sick cars with automatic transmissions that it is
possible to pull (or alternatively push) them to start - similar to popping a
clutch on a manual tranny car. The process was to leave the transmission in
"D" and get the car to about 30 MPH and it would start. Perhaps my brain cells
are even fewer than I thought, or maybe I should stop smoking that Maui
wowie.
Anyway, can anyone confirm or refute this process?
