Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way and hold it there.

If the engine still does not start using the previous procedure, have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
