Hey everyone. I haven't been on the forums for awhile now. Anyhow, 2 years ago purchased a light blue mav, 250 c4, 6 cyl. 2 door by the way. It's a wonderful car, and his name is leroy blue. I actually have had almost no trouble in the past 2 years. When I don't drive the car for a few days it starts to get tired on me. (it needs a lot of attention) So, today it gave a big hassle getting started. No gas getting to the engine. Any tips on what I could do to just get it so it can start quicker in the morning? Do you think a tune up/oil change would really help in that situation, or should I do that since it's past due and something else? Let me know what you recommend. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I can try to put my husband to work but I'd like to know what to tell him to do first. Thanks a ton! MAVERICKS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!
A tune-up. Spark plugs, Ignition wires, Distributor cap & rotor, choke adjustment, set ignition timing, Air filter, fuel filter...
to add to TL's good advice. Inspect the gas line (steel and rubber parts). I know when I got mine the first month the rubber line was rotting away and clogging the filters. I had an inline filter and the factory filter at the carb fuel inlet. Also the fuel pump could be on the way out. Worst thing could be the fuel outlet at the gas tank is blocked with rust etc...........
