Yes an excellent post. Multi-air is used in the 1.4L Dart and many later small FCA (now Stellantis) cars and that is priming the "Brick". This procedure is explained in the owner's manual and can happen if the car sits for a while. The Brick uses oil pressure and electric solenoids to open the intake valves. It can sometimes take many tries and some people remove the oil filter, press gently on the bypass valve, and crank until oil comes up. That method is shown in Fiat 500 vids. Sometimes there can still be some air trapped and the car can run rough for a while so you might want to shut off and restart. As you explained, make sure to do this with a battery at 12.4V or higher or the electronics might not work.

you have to compress the multi air system before putting it bad in or it can completely destroy it

That is the, multiair actuators, they are very loud and sound like knock. That's is normal for fiat multiair engines.

no the car is multi air the intake valves are actuated by hydrolic pressure- the block that holds and sends the fluid into the actuators when one of these engines sits for any significant period of time without being started the multi air block drains that fluid out and the car wont start. What he did by holding the pedal to the floor is bypassed the fuel system so it wouldn't flood the cylinders. By turning the engine over several times it builds the fluid back into the multi air box allowing the valve system to work properly. The last time he left his foot off the gas which allowed the fuel system to work and it started. It sounded to me like one of the valves is sticking possibly from the emptying of the multi air block but I'm not sure that's for another video.
