Today seems like a good day to pull my celi out of the garage biggrin.gif I havent started it in 3 or 4 weeks, is there anything I should do before i try cranking her?

Also while am here, I was just doing some maintenance work prior to getting a tune:
-spark plugs
-dizzy cap and rotor arm
-changed oil
-flushed and replaced coolant
-Vacuum lines
-Cleaned all grounds
-degunked intercooler

Anything else i should adress before visiting the tunner?

you shouldnt crank the engine for more than 15s at a time as it can overheat the starter and circuitry. i would do 2 or 3 10s intervals and you should be good to go.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
