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.
