Recently got my hands on a 1992 240sx SE Coupe, unmolested except for one dent on the passengers side.
Problem is, that it's a complete car but, It hasn't started in a few years or so I'm told. Was lead to believe that it was the starter that went bad and the person who owned the car never had the money or time to deal with it, so just let it sit before deciding to part with it.
Never had a car that had been sitting around for so long without running so, Need some advice on what to look at and what I need to do before trying to start it.
Figure these things are a given that need to be looked at and or replaced.
Oil/ Oil filter
Transmission fluid
Coolant
Fuel filter/ Fuel tank / Fuel pump
Battery / fuses
Air Cleaner
Spark plugs/ Wires
Tires
Compression/Leakdown test.
But other than that any and all advice would be appreciated. Also If this has been placed in the wrong spot, I'm sorry.
