Hey guys, my z has been sitting for a while and i havent started it for 2 months from looking around ive read that i could pull the ignition and fuel fuses but idk where those are. I saw another video of a dude saying i could hold the clutch and gas pedal to the floor and it will just crank is that true? Id like to prime the engine before i start it especially since its so cold here

 

Pull the fuel pump fuse or relay, crank it.

or just start the car, it’s what I do every 6 months

 

wheres the fuel pump and ignition relay?

 

thanks

 

What I do if a vehicle (fuel injected) has been sitting for a month or more, is that I will cycle the ignition key on/off a few times, waiting for the fuel pump to finish priming each time. And then I'll try and start it.

This seems to be more of an issue for my older vehicles where they may not be holding the fuel-rail pressure after sitting for a month or so. Cycling the ignition a few times allows the fuel-rail pressure to build before making the attempt to start, so that the engine cranks fewer revolutions before successfully firing up.

 

im not worried about getting the car started, i know itll start, i would like to have some oil pumped through the system so when i start it it doesnt damage anything
