Finished repairing my 02 mustang 3.8l and was wondering if there is anything special I need to do before starting it for the first time. Prime oil pump? Pressurize fuel system? Anything else? How do I do these things and make sure everything is all good before cranking for the first time?
The fuel system will pressurize with a couple key cycles. How long was it apart? Just change the oil and start it up if it wasn’t any crazy long time. If it was months or something it doesn’t hurt to disable the ignition or fuel system and crank it to get the oil primed.
