step to getting 930 running out of storage?
So the last time the car was registered was in 1988 and been sitting since from previous owner. Ordered a bunch of parts from pelican and sunset to hopefully get this thing running this next couple weeks. heres a list of parts i have:
Bosch front Fuel Pump Bosch rear Fuel Pump OEM air filter OEM fuel filter distributor cap rotor W-4-CS spark plugs OEM alternator belt OEM a/c belt oil filter OEM front and rear rotors OEM front and rear pads stainless steel brake lines boost pressure switch Any other suggestions would be appreciated as I know many of you have done this before bringing your turbo back to life. Was also thinking needing a turbo rebuild?? who does a good job at a good price for the stock 3LDZ? also planning on power bleeding the brakes as well as taking off gas tank and cleaning it. Can anyone suggest the easiest procedure/chemicals?? Thanks in advance |
Take it slow. Me, I'd have flushed the fluids, changed the belts and vacuum lines and tried to fire it up, as-is. Same goes for the turbo. I'd pull it off, clean it up, crank the engine to ensure your are getting oil to it and go on to the next thing.

Id squirt a little oil in the cylinders before starting it as well. It'll probably be bone dry.

you're barkin up the right tree, and the advice given is sage
do a search here on this subject, someone in the last 6mos maybe posed this Q what a sad waste of a good car tho geesh - people are weird (the PO, not you... that we know of at least... yet?) :D I'd dump some fuel system cleaner into the tank once drained / cleaned (also do a search here for info on that), like BG Clean or something... that fuel head / injectors / etc. are going to be pure varnish unfortunately. good luck, report back - oh and yeah, most importantly: PICS OR IT DOESN'T EXIST / aka VOTE TO BAN!!!

After you get this thing running try a using this Products |
Nice.. another one back on the road soon!
I brought one back from sitting for a year or so a couple months ago. I just drained the fluids, put a new ignition switch/battery, valve adjustment and fired her up! The fuel pumps might be over kill.. I would at least give a shot without swapping them out and if anything you have brand new ones waiting for when/if one fails. Good luck! and post a pic of two :D |
We have gotten several 930s towed in lately that have sat for years. More than half have suffered more engine damage from people being hasty in an attempt to start it up.
IMO the #1 thing is to make sure the fuel system is 100% clean -- CIS will not tolerate any contamination. Unless the car was parked with long-term storage in mind, i.e fuel system drained and filled with a stabilizer, it's probably full of varnish and moisture. A little time invested up front can save a huge expense overhauling components. 1. Drain the fuel tank, flush out. Remove sending unit, look inside for rust/debris. Easiest is to just remove for a thorough cleaning. Refill with good premium gas. 2. Disconnect fuel line supplying the fuel distributor, make adapter to connect it to the fuel return line. Install a new fuel filter. Trigger the pumps' relays and run the pumps for a 5-10 minutes. Look inside fuel tank for any debris that may have flushed out of the return lines. 3. Install new fuel filter, reconnect fuel lines to the FD. Techron and BG Knapp 44K are both excellent fuel system cleaners and may clean out the system after you get it running, but there's no guarantee you won't have to remove the FD, WUR, and injectors for professional cleaning and/or replacement. Other recommendations posted above are solid: * change all fluids, belts * a squirt of light oil in the cylinders and turn the engine over by hand with the spark plugs removed. Some people prefer engine oil, others WD40 or MMO, etc. * unplug fuel pump relays, crank engine until it builds oil pressure on the dash gauge If yours is like most others we've seen, it's going to leak and will need most perimeter seals replaced: valve cover gaskets, oil cooler seals, rear main, etc. All hoses and o-rings will need inspection and replacement as needed. |
