Default Trouble After the Startup

So I got in the car today, to go get gas, cuz there's a 40 cent spike tomarow supposedly.

And the car hasn't been driven much in the last like 3 weeks, like 4 times maybe.

But ANYWAY, I start the car fine but my hand twitched or something, and right after it started, I accidently likestarted the thing again. bear in mind this all happened in under a second, so it was all accidental. But then for like 30 seconds my hole car was rumbling in idle, but after that it was fine I think.

Just wondering how big of an issue doing what I did was. It has never happened to me before, and it would be a sad way for my car to start it's death.

Sorry to dissappoint you, but it has nothing to do with the car acting up! Worst case scenario, you get a starter which its teeth will be broken or worn!

What do you mean by acting up. I know that it must have caused the shaking because it's never done that before, and it stopped shortly after starting. i just don't know why it would have caused it.

I figured out what I did caused some gears or something to rub, like you said, so i'm guessing that just caused a vibration wave over the entire car.
