I don't have a manual for a v6, but all Honda manuals should have the
same section called "Starting the Engine" where they describe starting
in (extreme) COLD weather, HIGH altitudes, and Flooded. For two of those
you hold the gas pedal half-way to the floor. For flooded (with too much
gasoline) you hold the gas pedal to the metal and crank it for up to 15
seconds at a time. It tells the computer to cut the injectors while the
engine gets a chance to 'breathe fresh air'.

Harry, this isn't a stolen car, is it? :-)
