GMC 2009 Savana - Manual (Page 105)

2. If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather (below 0°F or − 18°C),
it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try
pushing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and holding it there as you hold the key in START for
up to 15 seconds. Wait at least 15 seconds between
each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool down.
When the engine starts, let go of the key and
accelerator. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine. Do not race the engine
immediately after starting it. Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil warms up and
lubricates all moving parts.
Notice: The engine is designed to work with the
electronics in the vehicle. If you add electrical parts
or accessories, you could change the way the
engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment,
check with your dealer/retailer. If you do not, the
engine might not perform properly. Any resulting
damage would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Fast Idle System
Fast Idle System with Switch
If the vehicle has this feature it is available only with

This system can be used to increase engine idle speed
whenever the following conditions are met:
• The park brake is set.
• The brake pedal is not pressed.
• The vehicle must not be moving and the accelerator
must not be pressed.
To control the fast idle:
• To Enable the Fast idle, press and release the
Cruise Control On/Off button and ensure that
the LED is lit.
• For the preset Fast Idle, press and release the
cruise set switch. This will set the preset fast
idle speed.
• For the variable fast idle, press and hold the
accelerator at the desired RPM, then press
and release the cruise control cruise set switch to
set the desired idle speed.
