today when the engine was already running, i turn the key forward instead of backward to turn it off. and when i did this, the engine sounded like it was trying to start up again. I'm worried that this may have damaged my engine somehow???

I bet it was a loud kinda of a screaming sounds? It just damaged ur starter a lil bit, nothing to worry about just dont do it again. EVER!

Its possible that it damaged your starter or the flywheel, but I doubt it....Does it make any weird noises now when starting again?

Starter more than anything...Flywheel is a bit hard to damage...

it make a really loud noise, if you do it in a parking garage everyone will be looking and laughing at you. This is kinda why I dont like really quiet engines.

Dont worry too much. My last car was a mitsubishi galant 2000. And anyone who has owned that car can tell you the engine is ridiculously quiet. When stopped, you really cant tell its on or off. I lost count of how many times i double started it. And the car is still perfect.

I wouldnt recommend making it a habit of doing it a lot though.

Wait until the buzz sets in a little before starting out on your cruise
