Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

- If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try, wait ten seconds and try again.
- Make sure the parking brake is on.
- Depress the accelerator all the way and hold it there.
