a crank is a creature from the movie trilogy and book series The Maze Runner.
its described as a zombie-looking creature, with pale skin, and reddened eyes. They're very skinny, so you could see their bons underneath their skin. they have extremely black and/or red veins as well as some sort of strings out of their skin, making them stick to the wall in some of the scenes in The Maze Runner movies.

When cold-starting a vehicle with a carburetor instead of fuel injection, one should use this religious engine-cranking method:
(1) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor twice. ("Pumpa-pumpa")
(2) Crank the engine for one second. ("Jesuit-esuit")
(3) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor two more times. ("Pumpa-pumpa")
(4) Crank the engine for one second again. ("Jesuit-esuit")
(5) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor three more times. ("Pumpa-pumpa-pumpa")
(4) Crank the engine again for several rotations; it should start this time. ("Jesuit-esuit-esuit-esuit-vrOOOOM!!")
