Hi all,

The snow is finally starting to melt up here in Manitoba and I'm dying to pull the T/A out of the garage.

This is the first Spring with the car, and now I'm just thinking of the best way to start it ?

I saw in the fuse box (under the hood, beside the headlight on drivers side), a fuse labeled "Injectors" Would this disable the Fuel to the injectors so that I can crank the car to build oil pressure ? Someone also suggested unplugging the positive to the coil, Not sure exactely where this is tho ? Pictures would help greatly.

Thanks.

 

Disconnect the fuse to the fuel pump.

Pull your plugs (Don't want to build compression on bearings with no oil).

Change your oil.

Crank engine over till you build adequate oil pressure.

Replace plugs and fuse. Start normally.

 

I stored mine for six months last year and I just got in and fired it up. I let it run about 10 minutes before pulling it out of the storage building. I changed the oil when I got home.

I had no problems all last year. I will be doing the same thing this year.

In general, in only takes a film of lubricant to keep two metal surfaces free of friction. I really doubt your bearing surfaces would dry out over the winter.

Do what you want though. This is only my opinion.

 

Is the fuse for the fuel pump labeled "Fuel Pump" or is it "Injectors". I never saw one labeld Fuel pump on my 96.

Thanks for the advice
