long story short, i have been given an 89 Lxi with 137k miles on it by my grandma, it was my grandfathers and he passed away about 6 years ago, the car has been sitting for atleast that long, if not longer.(i would guess atleast 7 if not 8) its in mint condition. no rust no leaks(yet..) and the car has been in a garage on a battery tender. the gas was drained when it was stored, i simply put some gas in it today and tried starting it. after about 5 mins or so of cycling the fuel pump and trying to start it, it finally popped off and sorta ran. sounds and feels like its missing on atleast 2 cylinders ive got a wire set on the way(broke 2 of the 4 trying to take them off) and new spark plugs which will be here Wednesday. short bit on me, im very mechanically inclined(i've built a dozen or so 500+whp subarus) but know NOTHING about hondas let alone one of this age.. that being said, this is where you guys come in! What are some common issues or things i should check before i go any further? i'm suspect of the injectors because of how long the have been sitting without any fuel in them to keep them from rusting/corroding internally. with our subarus we could pull them and use a 9v battery to test them to see if they click, that okay to do here? otherwise where can i look for replacement injectors online? i would feel much better with some cleaned/remaned injectors..
any and all help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!
