i'm back to the mustang forum, after a short break away, i traded my 93 camaro z28 for a 96 mustang gt convertible, the stang has been sitting for four years, it seems to run fine but was wondering what all i should get checked out, i already changed the oil, any help would be greatly appreciated

I would just do a complete tune up, forinstance, spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, and........what ever else it needs

Air filter too. Check all the brakes, brake lines, exhaust, all that good stuff. Also if its been sitting for four years in the same spot not in a garage i would put it up on a lift and check the undercarage for rust/rot if you can.

Don't forget to flush and change your coolant

I can imagine that you would need to possibly drop the gas tank and flush it out. If there was any gas and sediment in there prior to storage, I can only imagine the gummy mess it has become. Imagine that going through your fuel lines. Maybe a new fuel pump too. Four years is a long time for parts designed to move, pump or rotate not to do so. If they used a fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank prior to storage then you will most likely be fine.

Fuel filter, coolant flush, you already changed oil, plugs, air filter(K&N time!), air pressure in tires, I would probably change the transmission fluid as well as the differential.

also check out the steering pump and gear box! I know show cars that sit all the time end up getting weird spots while driving like loss of control in the postion it was when sitting for a long time!

Also, if it's been sitting for that long, there's a chance you could have flat spots on the tires. Other than that, everything these guys have recommended should be fine.

Should not have that problem with radials
