Hey, i was wondering what things should be done if your car hasn't been started in a few months. In about June, i parked the Corolla and i started it every week, however about a month and a half ago i had a operation and couldn't start the car cos i was bed ridden, so it hasn't been started since then..and since the cruising season is nearly here, i want to start driving it everywhere.

 

I just want to know, what things should i do before i start driving or what i should look for before driving?

 

Before i parked it i had just topped up the coolant and oil...

 

Thanks, Dion

I live in Croydon champ and you're probably not far from me.

 

Personally, I'd whip off the coil lead and crank her over a bit to get the oil pressure up.

 

Make sure the battery is charged first. If its a sealed unit, get a trickle charger and charge it up.

 

Other than that, fire her up. :P

get it started then rip a big skid to loosen it up

OMG there is one

Bahahaha :P

That's it, there's a racetrack, you've got to do one now.

Yea, just start it as if you would normally... Might be a good idea to do a service (oil change/filters/coolant) if you haven't for a while - they always help.

HAHAHAHA, Burnout.... What's a Burnout? :P

 

Just fire her up as normal... Service it if you want to.
