Often used terms with different meanings:
"Crank" Some think that when one turns the key and the starter turns the engine round and round, that means crank the engine. I agree with that.
Others think "crank" means that the engine starts. They will say things like "the engine will turn over, but not crank", or others will say... I turn the key and the engine does not crank.
Others will say... "the engine cranks but will not turn over."
I would like to suggest that we use the word START when we mean START!
For examlee when we say, she cranks but does not start. That statment is clear
If one states... "she turns over, but does not start!" That is also clear!.
