It's not been on the road for 6-7 years except for a week back in early 2016 while doing a clutch replacement on my Boxster. It wasn't running great during that week but it got me to work and back. I suspected the injectors were gunked-up.
I've been saving this car for retirement - restoration project but I'm still a few years out and my energy level coupled with joint pain got me thinking maybe I should just get it running and enjoy driving it while I still can. My basic plan is: Drain fuel system clean injectors replace fuel & vacuum lines New plugs and wires adjust valves new battery The ignition is a crane unit - can't remember the specifics. Tires were near new when I first stopped driving it but probably flat spots now. Any additional suggestions to get it back on the road? |

One last thing to check are BRAKES
All of these excellent recommendations will get it running but you have to Stop it too on that exciting first test run. Good luck with the reawakening... |
