i have a c/s/m that hasnt been started in about 3 years. It was a hobbie and i am thinking about getting back into it. Im a diesel machanic by day and want something to do at night so i am thinking about getting back into working on my car. When i stoped working on it the motor was just redone from top to bottom and the head was ported and polished and every thing was put back togher and ran great. I ran it a few times after that and now it sits. Ok my qushtion is is there anything i should do before trying to start the car? i know the tank need dreained but what other things should i do. I have 1000.00 in porting and polishing and dont want to mess it up or any thing else please let me know you guys know about these cars so i thought i would ask thank you for any advice. |

I agree. Start it and see what, if anything, breaks. If you kept the cap on the gas tank, the gas may even still be good.

Check the filters, plugs, and pumps to be sure they're fine. Drain the tank as you said, and give her a go! |

I'd pull the ECU fuse to stop it from starting and just crank it a few times to make sure it still builds oil pressure. So long as oil pressure comes up you shouldn't have any worries. |

Jumper the fuel pump connector in the engine bay. Do you hear the fuel pump spinning? if no, then possible fuel pump bad. if you can, pop off fuel filter and see if you get fuel coming out of hard line to fuel filter. If you do, then it's the fuel filter, if not, it's fuel pump or a soft line/hard line between there. Could even be a clogged filter sock. |

ok took a test light and checked to see if there is power in the harness for the pump in that round hole under the back seat so i am guessing the pump is bad there is power there but the pumps not running any suggestions is there a better pump than stock i can put in or should i just get one from a junkyard or can i use just about any fuel pump in the car like one out of a vw or similer displamnet motor to mine ? |

Whatever you do DONT get a Walbro 255. A Walbro 190 would work and it wont overrun the stock FPR like the 255 will. |
