Do these two sentences have the same meaning: No.


1. Can you get my old car going again?
2. Can you get my old car started again?This is more limited. The engine starts when you turn the ignition key. But that doesn't mean the car will go, ie move. eg Maybe it has a problem with the transmission. eg Maybe it has no wheels?
