Does it help and what does it really do.

does it take time for your car to start after that

I am assuming your car has a carbeurator to put the starter fluid in. It should really only be used in emergency situations when your vehicle might get vapor locked and you can't get it going. You will hear a nasty knocking noise as the car starts up usually because it is a very low octane. If you have to use it regularly to get your car going you probably have a problem. Fuel pump, carbeurator, radiator system needs flushing, etc.?

It is ok in small bursts, it is basically pressurized gas, so has a quicker ignition point, but to much starting fluid can blow the heads off a car or damage the intake manifold. had it happen to a Chevy blazer it was ten below zero took about half a can of fluid to get it started, run it about 1/2 hour and notice that it had blown the head gaskets.

It will dry out your cylinder walls if you use too much of it. When using to start, use just enough to start. When using to troubleshoot, just shoot some in and wait for flames or ignition. If you don't see any, don't spray any more in.
