    Any thing that I should do when I start my car for the first time in 4 months. It has been sitting in the garage since Nov. I plan on starting it up here prob this week. I plan on changing the oil, putting in fuel additive and maybe seafoam just incase there is any gunk sitting. Any other things I should do?

    Don't bother with fuel additives. Just run seafoam through the PCV and gas if you like, fill up with quality gas, change the oil and filter, wash everything down i.e. wash your car, and go light on the brakes for a few miles then do a few emergency stops to insure they are properly bedded after sitting for so long.

    Thats right. I forgot about adding Seafoam to the gas, I will just do that instead of the additives. Thanks

    I get all the dryer sheets out from all over the place, reconnect the battery and fire it right up. Then lower the tire pressures back to normal, and I go straight to the gas station and fill the tank with fresh 93. Come back and the cleaning / maintenance / mods will begin.

    Cant wait. Probably another month for me.:(
