OK, well we're having a VERY mild winter here in NE Ohio (crossing fingers!) and about a month and a half away from thinking about pulling the civic out of storage.

This will be my first spring boosted, so i'm kinda nervous about starting the car after having it in storage for almost 4 months. Just looking for some advice on how to build up the oil pressure enough to start the thing and oil my turbo parts thoroughly.

Help a HT'er out here

 

either pull the efi fuse or unplug the dizzy alltogether and crankit with a charger or a jump pack on it till the oil light goes out.

I wouldnt be to worried though, ive had turbos sitting on the shelf for like 6 months and they still have a nice film of oil in them. 4 months shouldnt really hurt anything.

 

it is just what i do when i take my car out of moth *****.

 

This is what i do whether its turbo or na:

Change the oil then, unplug the dizzy and injector clips and crank it a few times to build abit of oil pressure and then plug everything back up and fire it up. Been doing it for 4-5 years now without a problem.

 

ECU fuse is alot easier

 

Good feedback so far!!
Thanks for the comments...anyone else have their methods???

ecu fuse doesnt allow the car to crank at all

pull the AGC or ACG fuse not sure of the order lol its in the driverside fusebox, it will stop the fuel system from operating

edit: and yes i love the mild winter lol i cant stand the cold anymore...
