Daniel Peters Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi when ever I go to start my car it will not start with my foot on the floor on the accelerator peddal it will only start if i just turn the key normally the reason I put my foot on the gas peddal is so it revs up a l;ittle whenm being started a friend mine has the same type of car and he has no probs with putting his foot a little on the gas peddal when starting the car up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You shouldnt be pressing the accelorator when starting up anyway as it floods the engine with fuel when trying to start up which is why you're having problems. Just start it up without pressing the accelorator peddle and you shouldnt have a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 As above^ if you're pushing any pedal at startup it should only be the clutch. Revving it is only going to cause heartache at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhite73 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Also if you hold the accelerator all the way down it doesn't put any fuel in at all, supposed to be for if the engine was flooded, so it'll never start if you have the accelerator pushed all the way - no fuel is getting in.
