My car has died.

Well, the cold weather and snow finally gotten to my car. I went to start it the other day and would not turn at all. It has been sitting ofr about a month. My question is would it be ok just to leave it how it is for the next 3 months, or should I be starting it once in a while? Thanks for the help...

it will be fine. just prime it before starting it again and gas stabalizer in the tank.

it should be ok to sit now that it is already dead. the battery prolly died huh?

yep. i think thats all it is..lets hope so.. I didnt go out and try and jump it or anything, its been too cold. It sits every winter and this is the first time it died on me crapola

My battery is a bit crap. My car dies within 3 weeks of storing it. I just disconnect it and leave it for the winter. It always fires up just fine in the spring. I dont leave much gas in it, and I fill it with fresh 93 as soon as its on the road.

yeah, my stangs battery would be dead after a few weeks easy, sometimes two...it went through a lot of batteries in its life, even more after it got a big aftermarket stereo. lol

My car ran like crap after being out of service for 4 weeks. Idled like ***** and stumbled. Battery was ok...probably needs fresh gas, even after such a short time though.

when you start it back up in the spring run some seafoam through it , fill it with a nice high octane and volla ...she purrs again

 

[whyask]

sea foam for all the carbon build up it will get just from sitting around, plus it will flush all the crap thats been building and sitting around in your intake and fuel lines..

will it really do all that?

Carbon will not build up from sitting around.
