How did the time drive start up again?
The recent Agents of SHIELD episode "After, Before" focused on trying to get Yo-Yo's powers back, because her super-speed was needed so that the power core of the malfunctioning time drive could be removed before it caused a disaster. It ends with her being successful... and then shortly thereafter, the drive goes off again, dragging everyone into the events of the next episode.
This seems a bit odd, given that the component that was removed was explicitly referred to as the drive's power source. As everyone who's familiar with modern technology knows, if you unplug or remove the batteries from any piece of technology that depends on such a power source, it stops working and can't be started up again without restoring power. And yet somehow the time drive restarted itself, without any narrative indication that they had replaced the power core. (Which they presumably had no plans to do without repairing it first, a thing that the next episode clearly shows us has not happened yet!)
Do we have any explanation for how the time drive started up again?

Actually, it wasn't.
The part is referred to as the fuel cell regulator. so it's not the power source, just a component that manages the flow of power to the drive.
So the drive is still receiving power and it was just a theory that removing the regulator would stop the jumps...and we later find out that this is not the case when Enoch says..."it didn't work" and the jump continues.

What fueled the Time Machine in Back to the Future?
Originally fueled by radioactive plutonium, the time machine was modified in 1955 to run on the electricity in a lightning bolt. In 2015, a Mr. Fusion power plant was installed, allowing the time machine to run on practically any available matter.How did the DeLorean go back in time?
In the Back to the Future franchise, the DeLorean time machine is a time travel device made by retrofitting a DMC DeLorean vehicle with a flux capacitor. The car requires 1.21 gigawatts ("jigawatts/jigowatts") of power and needs to travel 88 miles per hour (142 km/h) to initiate time travel.Why was 88 mph in Back to the Future?
White first fell in love with the DeLorean in 1986 when he saw it in Robert Zemeckis' classic film. In it, Dr. Emmett Brown tells Marty McFly that pushing the vehicle to 88 mph would activate its flux capacitor and send them into another dimension. \u201cIt's some kind of magic number,\u201d White said.How much did the Time Machine sell for?
However, the 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 'Time Machine' that sold for $US159,088 ($AU221,500) on the weekend actually has neither - aside from being a faithful replica of one of cinema's most famous vehicles, that is.Learner Driver Moving A Car For The VERY FIRST TIME
