You go out one morning and it is cold I mean North Dakota cold. Wind chill in 3 digits and temp way below zero, ok I exaggerated a little, but still cold. How do I start my car that is fuel injected? My usual advice is to roll down the window reach in and start it. By doing this you will not touch the accelerator pedal and this is the correct method to start a cold car, or for that matter in any temp. This is of greater importance on any 1996 and newer vehicle but holds true for all fuel injected vehicles. You can pump the accelerator all you want and the injectors are going to do the same thing under a cold start condition. One condition to avoid is to turn the car to lock before trying to start the engine again, return the key to the off position not to lock because each time you turn the key to lock the injectors are going to provide the cylinders a extra shot of fuel thus flooding the vehicle in time.If it does flood hold the accelerator to the floor and this will stop the injectors from firing this is true for all 1996 and newer and older fuel injected vehicles.
