CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank the
engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to
15 seconds before trying again.

If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not

have enough power to continue running when the key is

released. If this occurs, continue cranking with the accel-

erator pedal pushed all the way to the floor. Release the

accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running

smoothly.
If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15-

second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal

held to the floor, repeat the “Normal Starting” or “Ex-

treme Cold Weather” procedures.

With Tip Start — Automatic Transmission Only
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the

“Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather” proce-

dures, it may be flooded. To clear any excess fuel, push

the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it.

Then, turn the ignition switch to the START position and

release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter motor

will disengage automatically in 10 seconds. Once this

occurs, release the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition

switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then

repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
