speed sounds normal, or even faster
than normal, when you turn the
ignition switch to the START (III)

need a qualified technician to find
the problem. See

Do you have fuel? Check the fuel
gauge; the low fuel indicator may
not be working.
Although this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precautions.
