Starting Your V8 Engine

1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the

ignition key to START. When the engine starts,

let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as

your engine gets warm.

Notice:

Holding your key in START for longer than

15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to

be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat

can damage your starter motor. Wait about 15

seconds between each try to help avoid draining

your battery or damaging your starter.

2. If it doesn’t start within 10 seconds, push the

accelerator pedal all the way to the ﬂoor, while you

hold the ignition key in START. When the engine

starts, let go of the key and let up on the accelerator

pedal. Wait about 15 seconds between each try.

When starting your engine in very cold weather (below

0°F or −18°C), do this:

1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the

ignition key to START and hold it there up to

15 seconds. When the engine starts, let go of

the key.

2. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then

stops), it could be ﬂooded with too much gasoline.

Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the

ﬂoor and holding it there as you hold the key in

START for about three seconds. When the engine

starts, let go of the key and accelerator. If the

vehicle starts brieﬂy but then stops again, do the

same thing, but this time keep the pedal down

for ﬁve or six seconds. This clears the extra

gasoline from the engine.

Notice:

Your engine is designed to work with the

electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical

parts or accessories, you could change the way the

engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment,

check with your dealer. If you do not, your engine

might not perform properly.
