Thanks for the suggestions so far, I'm not mechanically inclined so I'll do whatever I can base on the suggestions. The car is not turbo so I won't drain the gas tank since everyone's saying it's a PITA. The car has 130k miles on it and I only plan on keeping it for another 1-2 years. Here are the steps I'll take, in order:1. Add 2 bottles of Heet to gas tank2. Add Marvel to gas tank and crankcase3. Pull spark plugs and add Marvel, re-install plugs4. Wait 2 hours5. Push car out of garage6. Jack front end up, since it is a FWD7. Turn both wheels in both directions a dozen times 8. Check for bald spots, hope it's fine since it only has 18k miles on it9. Install new battery10. Pull fuel pump fuse and turn ignition on for 30 seconds, re-install fuse11. Cross fingers12. Turn engine on and put in gear forward and reverse13. Drop car on ground and drive slowly around the block, will then let car idle for 1/2 hour14. Take car to change oil, coolant, and brake fluid15. Replace spark plugsHopefully this will take of it, thanks gain everyone, let me know if there are any other suggestions.
wolwo 850's are definitely front wheel drive.
Gentleman, thank you all for the great suggestions, I did get the car started but it was not happy at first. Had to crank it many times but refuse to start. I finally floored the gas pedal until it came to life, there was a lot of smoke, even as I let it idle for 15 minutes. It might be burning off some of the Marvel that I dumped in the spark plug well. There was a off odor in the car, almost like chlorine but eventually went away.I did drive it around the block, didn't see any flat spots on the tires but it didn't feel quite right, maybe it's just that I haven't driven that car for so long and manual trans to boot.Will take it tomorrow for the fluid changes.Thanks again all, audio guys also know their cars.
