I will be starting my project tomorrow and I was wondering if there is any thing I need to do before I start the car it’s been sitting for 7 months.

It is always a good idea to just take a second look at everything. Sit down think of all the things you did and make sure they are done (could make a checklist)...I.E. check connections, wires, make sure important things are tight, oil in the motor, fully charged battery, etc etc. New gas is a must, also have a battery charger handy in case it takes a while to start...shouldn't, but it could. Also, since its been sitting so long, pull the EGI fuse and crank the motor over until you get oil pressure before you replace the fuse and start her up. Hope everything goes well. Let us know! Pics!

So i started the car tonite and it did not run well. i dont know if it has some thing to do with the S AFC set up or what but it seems like the car is only fireing on one rotor. and when i play with the AFC it does not get much better. what settings should i use on the SAFC? does the timing have anything do do with it. i could no get the car to rev up even at close to wide open throttle. what is going on any ideas??
