Starting
Fuel-Injected Engines
When starting a fuel-injected engine, the most
important thing to remember is to avoid
pressing down on the accelerator before or
during starting. Only use the accelerator when you
have problems getting your vehicle started. See
Starting Your Engine in this chapter for details
about when to use the accelerator while you start
your vehicle.
