1994 Chevrolet Camaro Owner's Manual - Page 59

Starting Your Engine Autamatic Transmission: Move your shift lever to "P" (Park) or "N'(Neutral). Your engine won't start in any other position - that's a safety feature. To restart when you're already moving, use "N'(Neutral) only. 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. 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 fuel injection system operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you don't, your engine might not perform properly. If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this manual that tells howto do it without damaging your vehicle. See "Towing Your Vehicle" in the Index. NOTICE: Don't try to shift to " P ' (Park) if your Chevrolet is moving. If you do, you could damage the transmission. Shift to "P" (Park) only when your vehicle is stopped. Manual Transmission: The gear selector should be in neutral. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor and start the engine. Your vehicle won't start if the clutch pedal is not all the way down -that's a safety feature. To start your V6 engine: 1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal turn your ignition key to "Start." When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm. 2. If your engine won't start (or starts but then stops), it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the wayto the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in "Start" for about three seconds. 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. 57.
