  4. Start the engine, and let it idle.
    • If the engine starts, go to step Β 6 .
    • If the engine does not start, go to step 5.
  5. Check to see if the fuel pump is running: listen to the fuel filler port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned ON (II).
