hmm i did not know that! where did you learn that trick?I just double checked the oil level, took a quick look around the engine compartment for any left over tools or obstructions from winter mods. Before I started the car I cranked the engine over without starting it. To do this hold the pedal to the floor with the clutch pedal held in as well. Turn the key like you trying to start the car. The car won't start but it will move the pistons up and down and lubricate the cylinder walls. This is the method for clearing a flooded engine. Not sure if it made any difference at all but it made me feel better since I hadn't run the car in about 6 months.
Wondering if this would also work with the automatics.I just double checked the oil level, took a quick look around the engine compartment for any left over tools or obstructions from winter mods.

Yeah it is typical for any electronic fuel injected car not to inject fuel when cranked at WOT, but if you are a bit less than WOT, she'll go VAROOOM! :lol:Wondering if this would also work with the automatics.
It does work with autos. I think you hold the brake and gas to the floor. I'm pretty sure its in the owners manualWondering if this would also work with the automatics.
Yes, first off refrain from referring to the car as "Chally",Ok so the Chally has been hibernating for 6 months.
Anyone have any suggestions onanything special a fella should do upon first start up?
Thanks:scratchhead:
Yes, first off refrain from referring to the car as "Chally",
It's gay and disrespectful to the vehicle,
It's a Challenger, or "The Challenger",
Check the air in the tires, fluids, put on your favorite shades and roll.
:smoker:
damn straight!I don't like the name 'Chally' either.
but i don't think its your place to tell a man what he can or cannot refer to his car as. It's his hard earned cash that he spent on the car. his car, he can call it whatever he likes.
its just disrespectful to the man.....is it not?
