[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 8940824, member: 10303"] What I did when bringing a Mustang out of long term storage was to pull the plugs, give each cylinder a squirt of oil, put a rag over the plug holes to catch the oil misting, then spin the engine with the starter motor. To prevent the injectors from firing you can either use a spare key that has not been PATS coded or just hold the gas pedal to the floor while turning the key. I turned the engine over for about two seconds, waited about 30 seconds, then spun it for another 5 seconds. If your oil pressure gauge moved you have oil pressure, if it didn't, spin it for ten seconds. Continue until you get oil pressure. Don't spin it for more than 10 seconds at a time, it might overheat the starter motor. The car I did it to showed oil pressure after about fifteen seconds of cranking. I put the old set of plugs in it, fired it up, drove it for around thirty miles and changed the oil, coolant, and plugs. It's run fine ever since and that was five years ago. [/QUOTE]
