Starting Your
“VORTEC”
4300
Engine
1.
Without pushing the accelerator pedal, 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.
NOTICE:
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.
2.
If
it doesn’t start right away, hold your key
in
START.
If
it doesn’t start in
10
seconds, push the
accelerator pedal all the way down for five more
seconds, or until
it
starts.
3.
‘If
your engine still won’t start (or starts but then
stops), wait
15
seconds and start over.
When
the
engine starts,
let
go
of
the key and the
accelerator pedal.
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.
