The title may be misleading because i am not trying to give out tips, but would just like to know what to look for in preparation to starting my 95 thats been sitting since april of 17.

The cooling system is currently drained so i wont be running it for long, i just want to make sure everything is going to go before i do more work.

I have both tranny cooler lines sitting in a big oil drain tank so fluid will be contained.

I disconnected the fuel pump relay and cranked it over a number of times to make sure my oil pressure was up.

The gas tank was empty so I put in some injector cleaner and 5 gal of 91 gas.

I changed the fuel filter, plugs, valve cover gaskets and cleaned the valve covers. And actually when i have the valve covers off i smeared a bunch of lucas on each of the cam lobes and spun the motor by hand a few times to just make sure we werent metal on metal.

I cranked it a few times then with the fuel pump relay hooked up again and realized that my tps was unplugged so i hooked it up. Cranked a few more times and my battery pack died.

So im certainly not giving up or anything but for those of you who gave had long term projects like this, what are some other things i could look for?

I have no problem just charging my pack and trying a bunch more!

Maybe should i just cycle the key a bunch of times to prime the system?
