What exactly is happening inside the engine when it's trying

>>16354244
the battery turns the engine and pew pew engine start

>>16354251
It turns the starter which turns the engine you stupid fucking faggot

Of course fuel is also injected into the cylinders which the spark plugs then try to ignite

Explosion happens

Hey don't trash someone legit curious about shit

You're retarded

single overhead camshaft is why.

Some cars might let the engine spin a few times on purpose without entering fuel into the system for momentum to aid in start when ignition happens. Its how I start a R985 radial. Thats just my reasoning.

Fuck Renault.

To give a bit more info the other two didn't provide.

Car engines are usually (most commonly) 4 stroke engines. Also, there's something called the flywheel which is connected to the shaft. This is basically like a plate that spins and conserves rotational energy.
Anyway, the starter makes the flywheel and in turn the shaft spin. This means that it first has to turn the engine at least once so that it:
1. takes fuel and air mixture in (piston down)
2. compresses it (piston up)
Then it can fire up.

A big part of fuel economy and less pollution is all about starting a motor due to how hard it is to actually start an engine. So during start-up there are many things that can be done to make it as fuel efficient as possible, such as proper fuel and air mixture, compression, inertia, etc.

So taking all that shit into account, reasons could be:
heavier parts (harder to gain inertia, although those have stronger starters in turn)
economy and emissions profiles for start up
valve actuation, camshaft profile
fuel feed and ignition

The miat and 240 are old small engines, the ecu is relatively simple, it probably only requires injection and ignition to start (so just one rev or so), instead of using a complicated start.

>older cars start instantly
Might have to do with direct injection of modern engines.
