Starting Your Engine Automatic transmission: Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine won't start in any other position -- that's a safety feature. To restart when you're already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. To start yourV6 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. NOTICE: NOTICE: Don't try to shift PARK (P) if your Chevrolet to is moving. If you do, you could damage the transmission. Shift toPARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped. Manual transmission: The gear selector should be in NEUTRAL (N). Hold the clutch pedal to the floor and start the engine. Your vehicle won't start if the clutch pedal is not allthe way down -- that's a safety feature. Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time will cause your batterybe to drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can damage your starter motor. 2. If it doesn't start right away, hold your key in START for about three to five seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds between each try to help avoiddraining your battery. 3. If your engine won't start (or starts but then stops), it could be flooded with too much gasoline. pushing Try 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 car 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. After waiting about15 seconds, repeat the normal starting procedure.
