(b) Starting a flooded engine
(2UZ–FE engine)
If the engine will not start, your engine
may be flooded because of repeated
cranking.
If this happens, turn the ignition key to
"START" with the accelerator pedal held
down, and hold the key at this position for
about 30 seconds. Then the cranking hold
function stops cranking automatically, and
you can try starting the engine with your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If the engine does not start, wait a few
minutes and try again.
If the engine still will not start, it needs
adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer
or qualified repair shop for assistance.
