I want to start the engine. It could still take me weeks before it's really ready, but running it up to temperature would be good to get the moisture out and get a better idea of the condition. Tell me what I need to do first. Here's a quick list:
- Immobilizer/DME/Key are in hand, ready to install.
- Starting on electronics - removal and cleaning today.
- Open the transmission drain to check for water. Soon.
- Take a fuel sample. Power fuel pump and sample at engine feed line.
- Find the coolant leak and fix it. Haven't even looked yet.
- Replace air filter, clean TB, MAF, and intake tubing.
- Fully drain or just replace the exhaust.
So... what else? I don't want to rush and ruin it all.
