I have a plan for starting my 2005 Toyota Corolla after it has been sitting for a year. I tried starting it after sitting for many months and the engine was shaking when it was running so I think the oil may have dripped down out of the engine cylinders. So this will be the second time I am starting with in the year time frame it has been siting. I plan to do the following when starting it.
-
Siphon out all the the old gasoline because it is probably stale. Then add a small amount of fresh gas (1 gallon) with one quarter bottle of (Iso HEET +injector cleaner water remover) 1 bottle treats 20 gallons so the injector cleaner water remover will be more concentrated and increase the chances of the car starting and running better. Add some fuel stabilizer to deal with crappy gas in fuel lines??
-
Check to make sure the oil levels are OK with the dip stick
-
Replace the battery.
-
Take out the old spark plugs and spray “engine fogging oil” into the spark plug holes or use a product called “Marvel mystery oil” in the holes. (how much marvel mystery oil should I use??)
-
Turn the key to the ignition with the spark plugs removed to “turn over the engine” and get the engine fogging oil or Marvel mystery oil to spread around the cylinders and pistons to lube the engine.
-
Replace the old spark plugs with new ones.
-
Spray starter fluid on the engine air intake.
-
Attempt to start the car.
Am I doing anything here wrong that can mess up my engine??
