When attempting to start a stalled vehicle let the starter run no more than?

When attempting to start a stalled vehicle, let the starter run for no more than 10 to 15 seconds at a time. This prevents overheating and potential damage to the starter motor. If the vehicle doesn't start after this period, wait for at least 30 seconds before trying again to allow the starter to cool down. If it continues to fail, further investigation may be needed.
