substantial jolt.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset
the fuel pump shut-off switch by
pushing in the button on the
switch.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. Pause for a few
seconds and return the key to the
OFF position.
