3) then hit start button once to turn off power
4) then remove foot from accelerator
5) then wait for 2 minutes
4) then start the engine like normal and see if that helps with the jerk and acceleration hesitation

2) + 3) = to press start button while accelerator is down to the floor ???

It is a bit strange and seems dangerous.
Read the instructions as written — you DON'T start the engine (only happens when you put your foot on the brake)
