Hello,

I know this is a Mustang forum, but I figure you guys would know the 2.3 turbo, heh..

Anyhow, I just picked up a 1985 2.3 turbo Cougar XR-7 with 33k miles on it. It has been sitting outside for 3 years without starting. What should I do to ensure a safe start? He assured me that it did run when it was parked.

I have heard a few things from friends, but I want to know what you guys think.

It was parked because it was wrecked lightly on one side, but it's fixable. The interior is like new! I'm having it towed over here this week.

Thanks!
