My car has been sitting for about two months, Any suggestions on what I should do before starting her up or is this just a crank and go situation?

For only two months?

Just make sure all your fluids are topped off and crank it.

I've had mine down for 3 or so, and it started fine.

What color was the smoke? My turbos have a known oil leak, so I got some heavy smoke from mine, but after a short drive, it was gone.

I think whitish color..

I was told before that it was condensation built inside the engine and exhaust.. I don't know how true that is.. Also, I heard something about the gas in the engine..

All I know is that it smoked for few minutes and it was all good.. And never really smoked again.. unless it was down for few days or weeks..

I had mine sitting for 8months and it fired right up. It did receive fresh oil prior starting (but that was more of a coincidence - I had my mazda service replace my oil pan).

My buddy had his sitting for about a year and it started right up. After that one start and move it now has been sitting for another four months. Manily if it sitts too long you should add a gas treatment to bring the gas back to life so to say and also like a HEAT addidtive to remove moister. The coolant would be after that to make sure it is not corroding any of the internals.
