  • How to start a car. Don't just start a car that hasn't run in a while. In this video I show you what to check before you attempt to start a car that has not run for 6 months or more so you don't damage the engine.

Watching your videos gave me confidence and knowledge and yesterday I just bought an '04 mustang. I'm really excited to have the knowledge and the ability now to feel comfortable with cars. Thanks for what you do.

    What an awesome video! Exactly the information I needed, especially the fogging fluid! I never even knew of such a thing, and I was rather worried about the cylinder walls and pistons. I'm about to get my precious car back from a 2-year impound, and I really don't want to damage the internals, when doing so.
    Thank you for doing this great, informative video (with clear and concise instructions)! I hope you're getting paid well for these videos, because you sure deserve it!

    Tip from a someone who does it own own on his semi truck poke a hole in the oil filter to drain it sideways or up and down filters. Makes it alot easier you 1 can control the flow and on the up and down you don't risk dropping it and oil going everywhere. 👍 Love the videos bud this is like the 12th time going a random video Marathon of your videos.

    I am planning on buying a porshe 924 that has been sitting for 20+ years and alot of this is helpful in know what I will need to overcome. Next I will be looking into paint restoration as I want to restore as much of it as possible before I wrap it.

      @@chrisfix love the channel and content bro, you've helped me get through many obstacles with my project car.
      I have a 99 Infiniti g20, I was wondering if you have any idea how to bypass the neutral safety switch, I wanna do this just to move the car around for the time being. I've replaced the switch and tried all the adjusting I possibly could but still no good. I'm not ready to take it to the shop just yet, but I do need to move it. If you have any info either way, I'd appreciate it.

    How in the hell can so many people dislike your videos. I love watching your videos. You're the only person I've seen that goes into such detail in how to fix a problem. Which tools to use and what to look for in diagnosing the problem. To date, you have saved me over a thousand dollars by me fixing my own truck. If you had stock, I would so buy some. You rock Chris! Keep up the good work. You're a true blessing.

    One more thing to check guys is the air box. Like Chris said, lots of animals could nest inside there and you don't your engine sucking up nests. So just open it up and make sure there are no nests in there, and just dust off the air filter while your at it.

    Hey Chris! I'm not sure if you're aware, but the key mechanisms in the 94-04 Mustangs require you to push that little lever right above the key to actually release it. I don't know if not doing such thing could harm the mechanism, but just wanted to let you know.

I don't know if your GT has the 5.0 or 4.6 but right now my car is a leaker, valve cover, oil pan, valve guide seals and oil housing gasket, the car has about 175,000 miles. How about a diy leak series. The car actually runs great but when should the timing chain be replaced.
