No Start/Normal Crank
NOTE:
Extended cranking due to a NO START condition can load the
exhaust system with raw fuel and ruin the catalytic
converter after engine starts. After the NO START condition
has been repaired, disconnect fuel injector connectors and
crank engine until surplus fuel is purged, as evidenced by
absence of fuel odor in exhaust system.
