Tell it your sorry for storing it for so freaking long. It's a car, it's meant to be driven. You guys up north crack me up. You need to move and get away from all those hard *** winters and salty roads and drive that bitch all year long.

I hear ya bro, but I am allergic to Hurricanes and having to restart my life every couple of years. Now if I was a construction worker I'd say hell yeah. LA is always re building

Pull the fuel pump relay and crank it,

for about ten or twenty seconds to pre-oil it.
Then re-fit relay and go for it.
(Ensure battery is good for it).
