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, turn the key to
the LOCK position, wait 10 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 10

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 10 seconds.

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