I’m a car guy who lives in DE, and have recently inherited my uncles 1987 Carrera with 123,334 miles. I had it shipped from CA to DE with Intercity Transport out of Mass. For someone who doesn’t know anything about transporting vehicles, they were awesome. Very professional and were ahead of schedule on delivery. As far as I know the car sat for at least two (2) years. When It arrived, I replaced the battery, removed the old gas from the tank, and changed the oil. I put about a half of a tank of gas in her and turned key. Now I checked to make sure the engine was free, pulled the fuse from the fuel pump and turned it over a few times before I fired it up…but when I plugged the fuel pump back in, she fired right up.
From the records I do have on the car, It has been very well maintained. Date and milage codes on the oil and fuel filters etc. Belts are tight and the owner’s manual has been kept up to date.
Now I know a thing on two about cars and engines and would consider myself to be a pretty decent shade tree YouTube mechanic on my suburban and Xterra. Now I am well aware of the value of this CA, no rust and from what I can tell well running car. I feel like the injectors need to be cleaned due to a slight sputter above 2000 RPM’s and in gear. My question is this can I realistically get to the fuel injectors without pulling the engine? My thoughts are fuel injectors, spark plugs, and check the filter. Anyone have any thoughts or resources?
