Question:
1979 Mercury Zephyr Straight Mileage: 135,000
The car has been sitting in a garage for about ten
years. I was wondering what I should do to start
it up for the first time; what kind of special things do
I have to do to ensure my engine won't cease up, and
that I don’t get any leaks form gaskets, and stuff.
Please if you could e-mail me a list of stuff I have to
do, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Answer: What we
would suggest you do with your car is to first remove
all the fan belts and the spark plugs. Disconnect
the coil and spray some WD-40 in each of the cylinders.
With a charged battery, crank the engine over until
there is oil pressure. Be sure there is oil in the
engine first, of course. Once it cranks over
smoothly, hook everything back up again and start the
car.
