Or wait 10 seconds after the after glow stops then give it 1/4 of a second shot. It doesn't take much. If the engine sounds like it's going to rattle itself apart, you used too much.

Cover the terminals with tape. You DO NOT want those terminals to ground out.

If the cord is missing you can buy them separately. I think the cords go bad more often than the heaters.
