So I am wondering what I need to do to my engine before I start it up? Prime it and stuff? If I should prime it how do I do that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It's a 4 cyl 2.0 fuel injected engine.

Not sure whhat the guys here will say but mine was sitting under a cover in a garage for 16 years when I got it going last year. Pretty much drained the tank (you may not have to as two years may not be too bad), fuel pump was shot so I installed a new one (just replaced it again after about 5K miles... POS cheapo). I had to replace all brake calipers which were frozen. You may have to do that or at least get them all working smooth. battery? Hope that helps. Why was it sitting so long? Parked because of a problem?
