4. 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 way to
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. 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 how
to do it
without damaging your vehicle.

Index under Towing Your

In very cold weather, 0°F (-18°C) or
colder, the engine block heater can help.

A
Plugging the cord into an
ungrounded outlet could cause
an electrical shock. Also, the
wrong kind
of extension cord
could overheat and cause a
fire.
You could be seriously injured.
Plug the cord into a properly
grounded three-prong 110-volt
outlet.
If the cord won’t reach, use
a heavy-duty three-prong extension
cord rated for at least
15 amps. After
you’ve
used the bfock hea,,,
be sure to store the cord as it was
before, to keep it away from
moving engine parts. If
you don’t,
it could be damaged.
How long should
you keep the block
heater plugged in? The answer depends
on the weather, the
kind of oil you have,
and some other things. Instead of trying
to list everything here,
we ask that you
contact a Chevrolet dealer
in the area
where you’ll be parking
your vehicle.
The dealer can give
you the best advice
for that particular area.
