If Your Engine Won't Start

If the headlights dim noticeably or

go out when you try to start the

engine, either the battery is dis-

charged or the connections are

corroded. Check the condition of the

battery and terminal connections

(see page

177

). You can then try

jump starting the car from a booster

battery (see page

222

).

The Starter Operates Normally

In this case, the starter motor's

speed sounds normal, or even faster

than normal, when you press the

ENGINE START button, but the

engine does not run.

Are you using the proper starting

procedure? Refer to

Starting the

Engine on page

131

.

Do you have fuel? Turn the

ignition switch to ON (II) for a

minute and watch the fuel gauge.

The low fuel level warning light

may not be working, so you were

not reminded to fill the tank.

There may be an electrical

problem, such as no power to the

fuel pump. Check all the fuses

(see page

235

).

If you find nothing wrong, you will

need a qualified technician to find

the problem. See

Emergency

Towing on page
