2.
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 the way to the
floor and holding it there as you hold the key in
START
for about three seconds.
If
the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do the same thing, but
this time keep the pedal down
for
five or six seconds.
This
clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
NOTICE:
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 engine 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 “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.

In
very cold weather,
0
OF
(-
18 O
C)
or colder, the engine
coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and
better
fuel
economy during engine warm-up. Usually,
the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum
of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To
Use the Coolant Heater
1. Turn
off
the engine.
2.
Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3.
Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt
AC
outlet.
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind
of
extension cord could overheat and cause
a
fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into
a
properly grounded three-prong
110-volt
AC
outlet.
If
the cord won’t reach, use
a
heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for
at
least
15
amps.
