If the Engine Cranks But Does Not
Start or Does Not Start After a
Collision
The Fuel Pump Shut-off Switch
If the engine cranks but does not start or if you have
had a collision, the fuel pump shut-off switch may
have been triggered. The shut-off switch is a device
that stops the fuel pump when your vehicle has been
involved in a substantial jolt.
For information on how to check and reset the fuel
pump shut-off switch, see Fuel pump shut-off switch
in the Index.

Avoid breathing vapors while refueling. If fuel is splashed on the skin, wash with soap
and water. If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact
lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes,
and seek medical attention.
Gasoline and gasoline blends may contain small
amounts of carcinogens, such as benzene. Long-
term exposure to unleaded gasoline vapors has
caused cancer in laboratory animals.
if you are taking the medication "Antabuse" or
other forms of disulfiram for the treatment of
alcoholism, vapor or skin contact with a gasoline-
methanol blend, may cause the same kind of adverse
reaction as drinking an alcoholic beverage. In
sensitive individuals, serious personal injury or
sickness could result. Consult a physician promptly
if you experience an adverse reaction.
242Running Out of Fuel
NOTE: Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on modern
powertrain components.
You may need to crank the engine several times
before the fuel system starts to pump fuel from the
tank to the engine.
If the engine does not start, check the fuel pump
shut-off switch and reset as required. See Fuel pump
shut-off switch in the Index./!\ WARNINGNever pour fuel in the throttle body orattempt to start the engine with the aircleaner removed. Doing so could result infire and personal injury.

Information about your vehicle's emission control
system is on the Vehicle Emission Control
Information decal located on or near the engine.
This decal identifies engine displacement and gives
some tune-up specifications.
Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance
Testing
In some localities it may become a legal requirement
to pass an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system. If the
vehicle's powertrain system or its battery has just
been serviced, the OBD II system is reset to a not
ready for I/M testing condition. To prepare for I/M
testing, the law specifies a "need for additional
mixed city and highway driving to complete the
check" of the OBD II system. As soon as all of the
OBD II system checks are successfully completed,
the OBD II system is set to the ready condition. The
amount of driving required to reach the ready
condition varies with individual driving patterns. To
complete this requirement in theminimum amount of time, refer to the OBD II Drive
Cycle defined below. If the vehicle owner cannot or
does not want to do the additional driving required by
law, a service center can perform this drive cycle as it
would any other type of repair work.
OBD II Drive Cycle
The following steps must be run in the order shown.
If steps 2 through 9 are interrupted, repeat the
preceeding step. Any safe driving mode is acceptable
between steps.
Always drive vehicle in a safe manner according to
traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.
1. Start engine and drive until engine has reached
normal operating temperature.
2. Idle vehicle for at least 80 seconds, then
accelerate at part throttle to near 45 mph (72 km/h).

Battery Check and recharge as necessary. Keep connections clean and covered with a light
coat of grease. If storing your vehicle for more than 30 days
without recharging the battery, disconnect the
battery cables to ensure battery charge is
maintained for quick starting. NOTE: If battery
cables are disconnected, it will be necessary to
reset any memory features (eg. radio presets).
Brakes Make sure brakes and parking brake are fully
released.
292Tires Maintain recommended air pressures.
Miscellaneous Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and
clevis pins under vehicle are covered with grease to
prevent rust. Move vehicles at least 25 feet (8 m) every 15
days to lubricate working parts and prevent
corrosion.
