My Acura Intergra has been in storage for a year Sign In

I have had my 1992 Acura Integra in storage for a year. Besides charging the battery, is there anything else I should do to make sure the car runs smoothly after such a long time in an idle state and will the car run as well as it did before I put it in storage.

Thanks,

Alex

If the car was in dry storage it should be ok. You may want to add some of my favorite fuel solvent called SeaFoam but sparingly like half of what the container says might ward off fuel problems and burn that old stuff out asap.

Rust on brake parts could be an issue but not in dry storage. Bet you are good to go, T

You should be ok and if you want to do some extras go for it. The important thing if oil was drained would be to fill the oil filter with oil so the oil pressure is faster to build up.

Watch your oil gauge and or light as they should be reasonably real quick on start up to be ok or shut it down and find out why, T
