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 about three seconds.
If
the car 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.
