The Starter Operates Normally
In this case, the starter motor's speed
sounds normal, or even faster than
normal, when you turn the ignition
switch to the START (III) position,
but the engine does not run.

Are you using a properly coded
key? An improperly coded key will
cause the immobilizer system
indicator in the instrument panel
to blink rapidly (see page 60).

Are you using the proper starting
procedure? Refer to Starting the
Engine on page 216.

Do you have fuel? Check the fuel
gauge; the low fuel indicator may
not be working.

There may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses (see
page 298).

If you find nothing wrong, you will
need a qualified technician to find the
problem (see Emergency Towing
on page 303).
