- 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.

Today my 6 year old son told me I should get “spray starter fluid” to start my car that’s been sitting. He said he knows because he watches “Chris fix” I looked it up here & sure enough! Thanks Chris for teaching my little one mechanics! Lord knows this momma needs the help! 😂
Cool kid. :)
As an car guy, Chrisfix is an mechanic that doesn't rage or swear on his project cars. What a legend.
that's what you think i'm sure he's been there done that

The fact that chrisfix goes onto older videos and likes the new posts is a sign that he is very dedicated on this platform and also a really nice guy

I remember watching this video when it came out several years ago when I had purchased my first car and I had no idea how to fix anything on it. 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.
How's the Mustang treatin ya?
I’m looking to buy an 04 mustang, do you still think it’s a good purchase?

Working on a car laid up for two years during COVID. This video has been fantastic for getting the old Mazda 3 road ready! Thanks so much!
Awesome!!!
Im just 13 years old and all i want is to become a mechanical engineer
Thats how i found chris fix and
All he though us is very very helpful
And he though every thing every detail
And im sorry for my bad english because im fron the philipines but thank you for all the help you did to us
Thank you thank you
Merry chrismas and a happy new year love you chris
I'd pay a good amount of money for this guy to be my mechanic
Me too!!!
*chrisfix wanna know your location*
Hair its a joke because Chris is funny
The best mentor... even if i have to pay with whatever
Or he might be in college pursuing engineering he would charge millions
Damn, that hummingbird tho
Fried hummus anyone?
+MarloSoBalJr MJofLakeland2 lmaooooo dude... no! just NO! 😂😂
MarloSoBalJr lol hummus?
Yeah nature being dumb
Dystopic if he kept the hummingbird it would've added 157.89 horsepower
That said, I absolutely salute the maker of this video,for giving a comprehensive, well-shot, guide with clear instructions on what needs to be done to get a car back on the road without causing damage.
Well done, from Ireland. 👍👍👏👏
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!
You forgot to check blinker fluid.
Lmao
Hahahaha yeah
I checked mine and imagine that! It was EMPTY!!!
Dont listen to him guys! only the Headlights need to be checked. ;^/
Yeah he forgot to refill the DEF fluid too. (ur comment was way better, just sayin)

Crazy to think that I watched this video new 6 years ago. This car has come a long way, it’s so cool to rewatch these older videos. Love your content!
Hey Chris, you have inspired me to become a mechanic. Your videos inspired me to become one, it’s not some desk job, where you are sitting there punching keys all day for the rest of your life. New cars come in a lot, giving new experiences every time. I actually am going to register for my first semester of mechanic class for my senior year of high school. Just wanted to give thanks ❤
Man this man is a big gear head, and definitely knows how to share his passion. 👍

Thinking about buying this 95 E36 I found for 600 bucks it’s not running and I’ve been needing a project car now that my daily is fully up and running. I love your content and it is inspiring me to grow my mechanic skills thank you Chris!

Bought an old Datsun today and I’ve never worked on cars but this beaut has my full attention. This is a perfect video to start me up, thank you!
Great video! Just what I was looking for.
I haven’t worked on cars myself since high school except for fluid changes and some trailer hitches.
Thanks for introducing something’s I never would have thought of and products to use to make job easier.
I am getting my dads little 1996 S-10 that my brother didn’t take care of, after his passing to use around the house.
I like that you don’t have any annoying music playing either. Will definitely subscribe!

So true, mechanics wants to make it complicated so that they can justify their charges. So bad, not many honest mechanic out there.
rewatching this series for like the 4th time because i love it. i dont own a car because im 12, but i have a feeling these are gonna be handy later. thanks for making videos chris :)
You can learn many things in this video
It will because it is almost impossible to find a good mechanic that does not cheat these days.
I'm proud of you. Nice job! Keep learning! You can never learn too much!
2 more years you can work a job n buy a car mane
2 more years till you can drive!
Man I love these sort of things, bringing back to life old cars, computers, games, clothes, shoes whatever it is its pretty cool fixing shit yourself and that sense of accomplishment afterwards, you feel more proud of the work you did and the car
I watched these out of order so now I kind of know how you got to the fuel pump diagnosis. My truck sounded exactly like that when my fuel pump went. Thanks for the videos. I'm learning little by little.
RIP bird :(
The bird will be remembered RIP

Thank you so much for this video! My brothers and my first cars were mustangs. So my bias made me click this video lol. Ive got an old Nissan that has been only turned on 3x since 2020, but want to gift it back to my brother as a winter beater. I didnt know starting cars that sit long was bad. Now I know what products to buy and what all to check to make sure I dont blow the engine before it leaves my driveway! Thank you for putting out a nice, clear, concice video! Straight to the point, perfect demos, no over complicated car talk lol. Im excited to do this next weekend! ❤❤❤

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.
Such a helpful video for someone who’s just starting out like my self. Very exciting. Thank you for the detailed video!

Chrisfix’s videos never get old. As you slowly start gaining more knowledge about cars the old videos get more entertaining. I watched this video 2 years ago. But now it is even more entertaining!

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.
What a lovely comment! ❤
Dude u removed the bird like it’s normal wtf😂😂
To be fair, a dead bird is quite normal. Death is all around us.
tbf, he put it in there anyway.
?
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.
Absolutely, I'm really surprised Chris missed that! Hes ALWAYS on point.
This car is obviously amazing! A car like this is very nice, good job on completing the project!

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 wish I saw your comment. i just commented the same thing. He's running the risk of having his key fall out while the car is running.
Alex Rascon Yeah, I didn't know if there was an specific risk, but I knew it couldn't be healthy for him to just yank on the key like that.
Yeah, he can get away with it, but I would replace the ignition lock to be on the save side.
Alex Rascon Oh alright, and yeah it would make sense to replace it. I've had an '02 v6 and it was strange at first with the key dismissal.
+Paul Vogel haha yeah, I had a 95' GT and it took me a good 20 minutes to figure out how to get the key out. strange design indeed.

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.
