Move out. Find a straight, flat stretch of road or ground and have the tow vehicle pull you at 20-25 mph (32-40 km/hr).

accelerator down about halfway.

Dont leave the transmission range selector in any driving range for more than about 5 seconds
under tow. If the engine doesnt start, shift back to N range and let the transmission rest for a
few seconds.

When your engine starts, move the transmission range selector to N range and signal the towing driver to stop. If you
dont get a start in three tries, stop and troubleshoot your engine (WP 0055 00).
