AF330-----no no no

The Bleed Air is only used to run the starter motor.
The Starter motor is physically connected to the Engine and turns it over. During start the Engine turns over faster and faster sucking fresh Air in the front mixed with fuel and ignited. The Engine then runs at Idle all on it own with the starter motor now disconnected.

Start bleed air is NOT blown in the Engine to turn it over for start.
