Hello, new member here.

As per my other inquiry, I have a 2001 Civic EX that has been in storage since 2018 when I left to work overseas. I put fuel stabilizer in a full tank before I left and about once a year I had someone go turn it over, and it always started and ran ok.

Other than the clutch issue in my other thread, does anyone have a recommendation or process for getting a Civic back on the road after multi-year storage? Anything Honda-specific to look out for/check/etc.?

Many thanks for your guidance.

 

You should check the battery, make sure its charged and is still properly hooked up. Youre also going to want to check your fluids (Oil, Power Steering, Coolant, etc.) Should probably check underneath the car to see if it has been leaking anything, cars that have been sitting for a while tend to leak more than normal.

Other than that crank her up and check for any weird noises, some are normal like maybe some brake noises if theyre sticking after sitting up.
