To start, simply turn on the starter without touching the accelerator pedal. The engine management system will automatically set the fuel supply and ignition timing parameters required for starting.

5. Carefully inspect the engine and underhood space. Pay attention to leaks of gasoline, oil, brake and cooling fluids. Make sure the electrical wiring is intact. Check the fit of the high-voltage wires in the ignition module sockets, on the spark plugs.
6. Sit behind the wheel and turn on the ignition by turning the key in the ignition switch (lock) to the "M" position. This will turn on the electric fuel pump. Without closing the hood (in case of rain or snowfall, cover it), start the engine.
Useful tips
It is better to close the hood after the engine starts working. Before this, it is advisable to inspect the engine again, make sure there are no leaks of fuel, oil, coolant, or extraneous sounds in its operation.
If for some reason the spark plugs are "flooded" during an unsuccessful start attempt, use the cylinder "purge" mode. To do this, press the accelerator pedal all the way down and turn on the starter. In this mode, there is no fuel supply and excess gasoline will be removed from the cylinders by a flow of fresh air, while the spark plugs are dried. After purging, try starting again in the usual manner.
If the engine does not start, there are three main reasons:
- the starting system does not work;
- the ignition system does not work;
- the power supply system is not working.
Note: In addition to the main reasons listed, the engine may not start if the purge valve of the adsorber is faulty or if air is sucked in through the connections of the hoses of the fuel vapor recovery system.
