maintenance for storing car?
#12
not sure what the point of cleaning the throttle bodies will do. but make sure you change your oil first! everyone says to just change it when you pull it out, but if the oil in your car isn't fresh then it's got crap in it and it's all just sitting and collecting throught your motor the whole winter. I just put mine away today. it's still freshly waxed from my detail, so i washed it, changed the oil, pulled the batter, and did the drier sheets. Also make sure your antifreeze is up to task of resisting temps. I always am sure to check mine and be sure it's safe to atleast -20.

i believe in cleaning them, i've seen many cars come thru the dealership where the throttles are sticky just because of so much build up on the bore of the tb so the butterfly is sticky, cleaning them takes care of this issue. however i'm not sure what kind of reasoning there is to doing this every year before you put your car in storage.

If you can find 98 octane gas it does not have ethanol in it still and is worth putting a few gallons in for $8 a gal, also make sure you put the stands under the suspension so it doesn't sag
