Starting
Your
Engine
Move your shift lever
to
PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position
--
that’s
a
safety feature.
To
restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL
(N)
only.
I
NOTICE:
Don’t
try
to shift to
PARK (P)
if your Oldsmobile
is moving.
If
you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to
PARK
(P)
only when your
vehicle is stopped.
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.
I
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 your engine 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 up to
15
seconds. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine.
