If Engine Fails To Start

If the engine fails to start after you have followed the "Normal
Starting" or "Extreme Cold Weather" procedure, it may be
flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and
hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than 15 seconds.
This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
Leave the ignition in the RUN position, release the accelerator
pedal and repeat the "Normal Starting" procedure.
