I got the TP out of storage, but I've got a small problem!

It's not liking starting. Need to use part of the throttle to get it to start, then idles about 500-600rpm.

EFI, Auto wagon.

my advice is give it a run.

If it was in storage the battery would have gone flat right? and then the car has to re-learn idle right? Give it a good (gentle) run i say.

how long has your car been in storage? depending on how often it's been run and how it was stored it could be anything, stale fuel, corroded electric terminals, or if it hasn't been run in ages the valves in the head could be rusted and not seating properly, i'd start by giving it an oil change, clean fuel and a long drive to get it on operating temp and see if it comes good

'Bout 2 months. The battery seems fine, as it'll crank.
