Just as the title says, I haven't ran my 87 lx for over 8 years. It has sat mainly with an issue for starting and a bad clutch. Why start it...because you can't even drive it. Fast forward....I have a new clutch ready to be installed. Because of time constraints I will be finding a shop to do that work for me.
My question mainly is, what do I need to focus on to make sure when I start up the car, I don't damage it. Within the last week I have:
-Drained oil, gas, antifreeze and replaced with new stuff.
-Changed belts
-pulled spark plugs (cleaned) - They only had maybe 5000 miles on them before my car sat.
-squirted oil in the cylinders and rotated the engine. Turned very easy and smooth quite a few times.
- replaced battery (and starter cable, starter switch in the engine compartment - I think this was causing issues for me before, so one of the reasons I haven't ran the car)
So, I plan on starting the car this weekend. Is there anything else I should do or think of doing before turning the key?
