Engine startup after 4 years
Sup guys,
My del Sol has been parked for almost 4 years :S I know I know... The reason why it got parked is because it was vandalized. All my hoses wires ect got sliced with a razor. I am going to replace all the hoses and solder the wires where I can. When I get ready to start it should I do any thing to help it get going?
Engine: D15

Drain the gas if there is any and put some new gas in the tank. New tires would be on my list also. oh yea and change the oil lol.

Ahh see good thing I posted I totally over looked the gas. I will throw some Heat in the tank as well.. I have to get it out of the snow before I even think about changing oil lol
Think I can pick up all the hoses at Schucks or Napa?

Tow it then, I STRONGLY recommend you don't start that car on 4 year old oil.

Doesn't matter if you are gonna swap it if the headgasket blow after 3 min of driving it.
you can get $4-500 for the full D-series D15B7 swap if its in good shape, You'd be lucky to get $50 in scrap if you blow it up.
