Need Help...

I have a 1991 Camaro RS. I'm in love with it. My dad bought it for me years ago. I drove it through college. It's been sitting in the backyard rotting away for the last five/six years. My dad's really busy so he doesn't have a lot of time to help. I'm in a rut right now and have nothing but time. I'm really eager to get this back on the road. Unfortunately I don't even know where to start to get it running again. Any suggestions?

Re: Need Help...

If it ran when you parked it start with fresh fluids and a good battery. Check the intake and exhaust for rodent or other animal infestation. I have always sprayed a little WD-40 in each cylinder when I replace the spark plugs. I let the WD-40 sit for a while the turn the motor over. However I have only done this with older non fuel injected cars.
