Without pushing the accelerator peda
turn your ignition key to “Start.”
When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.

heat can damage your starter motor.

If your engine won’t start (or starts bt
then stops), it could be flooded
with
too much gasoline. Try pushing your
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and holding it there as you hold
the key in “Start” for about three
seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly
but then stops again, do the same
thing, but this time keep the pedal
down for five or six seconds. This
clears the extra gasoline from the
engine.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work
with the electronics
in
your vehicle.
If you add electrical parts or
accessories, you could change the
way the fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don’t, your engine might not
perform properly.
If you ever have to have your
vehicle towed, see the
part
of this
manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See
“Towing Your Vehicle”
in
the Index.
