What would you guys recommend for a tune up on a car that has sat for 2 years? I have an 02 gt with 18500 miles, it had 18000 in March of 04!

I'd do the basics...plugs, air filter, PCV valve. After running a fresh tank of gas thru it you might want to do the fuel filter. After sitting I'd bet that thing will be collecting some junk from the gas that was sitting for 2 years.

Unless a good dose of Sta-Bil was added. Regardless, you should probably siphon the old gas out and throw in enough fresh gas to get me to the gas station.

Don't forget the Seafoam for good measure! And check for hose rot, just in case.
