Taking car out of 4 year storage...
Taking car out of 4 year storage...
I just bought my second FD. It's been sitting outside for about 4 years. Since it didn't have power, I towed it home and it's sitting in my garage. I'd like to get it working, but I need an order of operations to best recover from poor storage and then troubleshoot problems that may arise.
I've already changed the oil, oil filter, and coolant. I've add power steering fluid. I've check the air filter and replaced the battery. Next, I'm going to change the spark plugs and squirt oil and carb cleaner into the plug holes.
Assuming the starter tries but the car doesn't start, what next? What problems might I encounter and how do I solve them? Thanks!

Thanks. I had done a search both found nothing. After your prodding, I tried harder and found the post. I'll re-post with specifc questions once I try the suggestions, if I'm still having problems.
Drain the tank and replace the gas too. You may consider the trans oil and diff oil if it starts. I pull the fuel pump fuse and turn it over for a while after winter storage to make sure the rotor seals get some oil before I fire it up.
