Starting a Flooded Engine

Starting a Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
 
Follow this procedure:
 
1. If the engine does not start within 5

seconds on the first try, wait 10
seconds and try again.

2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way

and hold it there.

4. Depress the clutch pedal (manual

transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission), then
press the push button start. If the
engine starts, release the
accelerator immediately because
the engine will suddenly rev up.

5. If the engine fails to start, crank it

without depressing the accelerator.

 
If the engine still does not start using
the previous procedure, have your
vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Push-Starting

Do not push-start your Mazda.

WARNING

Never tow a vehicle to start it:

Towing a vehicle to start it is
dangerous. The vehicle being towed
could surge forward when its engine
starts, causing the 2 vehicles to collide.
The occupants could be injured.

CAUTION

Do not push-start a vehicle that has a
manual transmission. It can damage
the emission control system.

NOTE

You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission by pushing it.
