er.. ok.. my celica might not be moving for a month or 2... so i'm wondering.. for those people that store their cars for long periods of time... is there anything you need to prep before leaving it standing still for so long? since i heard it oculd be bad if you just let it sit for too long

dont worry about the gas, it dosnt go bad for years
disconnect the battery and thats it. the real tip is what you should do when you go to start it back up. remove your efi fuse and crank the car for about 20secons untill the oil light on your dash goes off. then put the efi fuse back in and start her up. this will make sure that the motor is not going to get any extra wear from being fired up with no oil presure from sitting for so long. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
