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 five

seconds on the first try, switch the
ignition off, wait ten 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

transaxle) or the brake pedal
(Automatic transaxle).

5. Switch the ignition to START and hold

it there

―

for up to ten seconds. If the

engine starts, release the key and
accelerator immediately because the
engine will suddenly rev up.

6. If the engine fails to start, crank it

without depressing the accelerator

―

for

up to ten seconds.

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