Fuel-Injected Engines
When starting a fuel-injected engine, the most important thing to
remember is to avoid pressing down on the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you
have problems getting your vehicle started. See Starting Your Engine
in this chapter for details about when to use the accelerator
while you start your vehicle.
