Starting 91 Miata After Sitting for 4 years
Do you guys have any tips on starting? Bone stock. I was thinking:
1) Drain gas and replace
2) Change oil
3) Flush and change coolant
4) Remove spark plugs and handcrank (drip some oil into each cylinder?)
5) Trickle charge battery or replace
Anything else you'd recommend? Is fuel filter necessary?
Edit: I just bought a fuel filter.

Yes it does that. On carbs, when an engine flooded, you fixed it by holding WOT. To compliment that, EFI is set up the same. Once we thought our Expy was broken but turned out my wife was thinking she was pressing the brake, but it was the gas pedal.
MS3 has same (adjustable) feature.
Now I understand your cryptic answer. Open throttle to start it rather than rely on idle valve.
