Your vehicle is fitted with an engine management system. What will happen if you press the accelerator when you’re starting the engine?

Explanation: When starting an engine fitted with an engine management system, you don't need to press the accelerator, because the engine management system automatically regulates the fuel/air supply. Using the accelerator at start-up wastes fuel, causes increased engine noise and is harmful to the environment.
