i know several good DIY guys that open one bleeder screw at a time amd wait until they get a solid flow of brake fluid out of it and then do the next one,
My one-person method is to put a piece of vac hose over the bleeder screw, stick the other end of the hose in a partially filled jar of brake fluid so the end of the hose is submerged. Then open the bleeder and pump the brakes until there are no bubbles coming out into the jar.
The only trick to it is getting in a position where you can see the jar and pump the pedal at the same time.
I have never heard of anyone starting the car to bleed the brakes.
