Depress gas pedal???????

I haven't read through my manual in MANY months, but as our cars are fuel injected, is there a need to depress the gas pedal in any circumstance?????
To my knowledge no.

Looking forward to members' comments.

Brett

Read your manual.

Cold start turn key, do not depress gas pedal.
Warm start depress pedal half way, turn key.
Hot start depress all the way, turn key.

That should slove your problem.[/quote]
