Holding your key in Start for
longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be
drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your
starter motor.
4. If your engine still won't start (or
starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline. Try
pushing your accelerator pedal all tht
way to the floor and holding it there
as you hold the key in Start for abou
three seconds. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine. If the
vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing, but this
time keep the pedal about one-
quarter of the way down for five or
six seconds.
Your engine is designed to work
with the electronics in your
vehicle. If you add electrical parts
or accessories, you could change
the way the fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If
you don't, your engine might not
perform properly.
If you ever have to have your
vehicle towed, see the part of this
manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle.
See the Index under Towing Your
Pontiac.
To Start Your 3300 V6 Engine
(Code N):
1. Don't push the accelerator pedal
before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to do
this, but because of your vehicle's
computer systems, you don't.
2. Turn your ignition key to Start.
When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
3.
If it doesn't start right away, push the
accelerator pedal about one-quarter
of the way down while you turn the
key to Start. Do this until the engine
starts. As soon as it does, let go of
the key and the accelerator pedal.
