To Start Your 3300 V6 Engine
(Code N):
1. Don’t push the accelerator pedal
before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to
do
this, but because of your vehicle’s
computer systems, you don’t.
2. 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.
3. If it doesn’t start right away, push the accelerator pedal about one-quarter of the way down while you
turn the
key to
Start. Do this until the engine
starts.
As soon as it does, let go of
the key and the accelerator pedal.
