Hey guys,
so I figure today was a good day to bring out my MR2 after its been parked all winter.
I've done my due diligence with routines while it's been parked. It was under a car canopy tent and then also covered with a car cover so very well covered.
Full tank of gas.
New oil change just before it was parked.
Tires slightly overinflated to prevent flat spot etc...
Also routinely would start the car and let it idle for 20 minutes at a time about once a month.
Apparently I didnt do it recently enough, because today, when I went to start it for good, it didn't start.
I thought I had been out there in the past month or so to give it a nice bit of run time but I may be mistaking as it obviously isnt starting.
Its not a dead battery as my dashboard lights up, buzzers sound, car ignitor seems to be firing but thats it. I just get a fast clicking sound as the ignitor tries to fire.
Why won't it fire? I recall from years past I use to disconnect my ignitors and turn it over and just the pumps would run and relube everything nicely before I fire it up, but I tried that and maybe I either disconnected the wrong thing or I dunno what, but I need some help.
What should I do to get this bad boy fired up now that it's been sitting probably 2 weeks too long :rolleyes:
