Starting The Engine - Honda 1994 Accord Wagon Reference Owner's Manual

Starting the Engine

5. If the engine does not start
within 15 seconds, or starts
but stalls right away, repeat
step 4 with the accelerator
pedal pressed half-way down. If
the engine starts, release
pressure on the accelerator
pedal so the engine does not
race.
6. If the engine still does not
start, press the accelerator
pedal all the way down and
hold it there while starting in
order to clear flooding. As
before, keep the ignition key
in the START (III) position for
no more than 15 seconds.
Return to step 5 if the engine
does not start. If it starts, lift
your foot off the accelerator
pedal so the engine does not
race.
Driving
Starting in Cold Weather
at High Altitude (Above
8,000 feet/2,400 Meters)
An engine is harder to start in
cold weather. The thinner air
found at high altitude above
8,000 feet (2,400 meters) adds to
the problem. Use the following
procedure:
1. Turn off all electrical
accessories to reduce the
drain on the battery.
2. Push the accelerator pedal
half-way to the floor and hold
it there while starting the
engine. Do not hold the
ignition key in START (III) for
more than 15 seconds. When
the engine starts, release the
accelerator pedal gradually as
the engine speeds up and
smooths out.
3. If the engine fails to start in
step 2, push the accelerator
pedal to the floor and hold it
there while you try to start
the engine for no more than
15 seconds. If the engine does
not start, return to step 2.
