WARNING!

Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an

catalytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.

If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start can be
