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? |

I would carefully check the fuel lines from pump around the system and back to the fuel return,bet the hoses will be suspect,make sure the short hoses on your injectors are ok also.
Replace this hose with the best rated hose you can buy and check/replace FI hose clamps as required. Run a low clean fuel tank with maybe 5 litres and a full bottle of injector cleaner,had good luck in the pass with this method. Don't forget to check rubber flexible brake lines as they fail by age and not use...ask me how I know,my car was in dry storage from late 90's on till I bought it in late 2014 all new (?) lines were all perished,be safe ok. |
