HI all, just wanted to ask for some advice...
My 1998 GF8 Sti has been sorn for nearly a year. I would start the engine every now and then for the first 6-8 months, but the car hasn't started at all for the past 3-4 months, due to a broken starter motor.
I'm now going to get it fixed and get it back on the road.
Any precautions I should take before I drive it and rev it again?
All fluids were good before it got sorn, oil and coolant still seem to a good level.
Thank you

If my cars been standing a while, I discount the cam sensor and crank it over to get the oil around the engine before starting.

There's loads of threads on here about it. If you look down the front of the engine, It's below power steering belts etc, grey plug. Just disconnect and turn car over and won't start.

Other option is too discount ignition coil pack on top of the engine.

Believe cam sensor is more recommended though.
