It got very hot in July, and the Fiat sat in the garage for a month. Despite previously having no issues, the heat allowed the oil to drain from the multi-air. When I went to crank, it was in a no start situation. The Fiat Multi-Air not starting is not a serious situation, but it's inconvenient. It occurs when the car sits for too long and the oil drains out of the top of the motor, creating a no-start situation.

Patience can take care of this problem. I was able to restart the engine by re-priming the motor with the ignition and starter. I pressed the gas pedal to the floor fully during the cranking process to shut off fuel to the injectors, and gave the starter quick bumps to avoid over heating.

Eventually, I was able to start the motor. I also poured a few capfuls of oil on top of the multi-air brick to help prime it. There is also some additionally commentary as I gave the car a test drive.
