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, turn the key to
the LOCK position, wait ten seconds
and try again.

2. Depress the accelerator all the way and

hold it there.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the START

position 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.

4. 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.
