What parts will I need for a 2005 Ford Taurus 3.0L SFI DOHC 6cyl that has been sitting for 2 years?
Right now my list includes: battery, wiper blades, air fliter, front and rear brake pads and all 4 tires? Also what mechanic services will I need? So far that lists includes: a tune-up, oil change, and an engine flush. Your help would be very appreciated.
I would definitely drain the fuel rail and jump the fuel pump relay and let it empty the gas tank. Dump in some fuel system cleaner and fresh gas.
No such thing as a "tune-up" on anything made after 1975 so loose that very expensive phrase from your vocabulary. Ditch your list and start with a new one. Battery can remain and the tires as well should be refreshed if they are 6 years old or worn. Complete fluid change. Everything including brake fluid, coolant, oil, transmission. You need no mechanic services for any of this so far. The purchase of a repair manual will guide you. Inspection of plug wires plugs, belts and hoses come next. Replace as necessary Yep all in the manual. Now start it and drive it making a list of anything that seems off and go from there
The list should be made ENTIRELY on the basis of an INSPECTION.
- Truck has been sitting for like 8-10 yrs? We have a truck that has been sitting for like 8-10 yrs. And my son wants it for his first truck. I looked in the engine and there has been mice making nest in it. It has tons of rocks and trash in it. But i don't see any wires chewed. It's a Ford Ranger Splash 94 with only 55,000 miles on it. Do you think it would be worth it to tow it to get running again?
- What should be done to a car that s been sitting for a long time? My parents bought me and my brother a 2001 ford mustang about a month ago. It has 88,000 miles on it and the previous owner (not the original owner) had been letting it sit for about 6 months I think he said. The car obviously hasn't been driven that much. I know I should obviously change the oil and all filters. I don't know too much about cars but am learning and was just wondering from any mechanics out there what all I should do to it.
- I have to get a car running that has been sitting for 17 years? I have to get a 79 Ford Mustang with a in-line 4 running so it can be moved out of a parking garage that it has been parked in. Obviously it will need some fresh gas, any ford enthusiast have any tips to offer?
