    I watched many videos on this topic, as my car had been stored for 2 months. The best advice I received out of all the videos was yours - check key first just in case battery still works. It did work and I didnt need to go military tactics trying to start the car :) Thank you again.

    Why does everyone showing this method NOT say after you connect the positive and negative leads you then have to turn the key in the ignition to on and hold it for upto 30 seconds? Nobody adds this important information 🤔

    io ho una Porsche Boxster 987, il cavo di acciaio per aprire il cofano si trova sul lato guidatore, ma e' molti difficile da tirare levando i passaruota, io, non ci sono riuscito. E nemmeno con la pulsantiera e utilizzando il powerbank. L'unica soluzione e' stata quella di utilizzare il powerbank collegandolo allo spinotto rosso dei fusibile e di utilizzare il pulsante della chiave per aprire il cofano. La batteria all'interno era stata disconnessa, avevo tolto il polo negativo e avevo chiuso il cofano.

    If you have a 996 turbo like me, this is only way to open hood and trunk. The turbo does not have emergency wires. Also, you absolutely need a 12V battery. Chargers / starters won’t work because it won’t detect anything and give you a 12v charge.

    I personally bought 2 370Z’s from iaai and I don’t think I’ll ever buy another car from an auction. The 2nd one was “fixed”by a young dude who scammed the fuck out of me airbags deployed and hid the damages by stitching up the dash with leather, driver curtain airbag was missing and the steering wheel was from an older model not only that it was in 2 accidents prior to arriving at the iaai yard. I had so many issues getting it to pass break and lamp inspection. After 3 weeks of owning the car and finding out all the issues the guy made up such a bullshit lie long story short ever since then I started to run VIN #’s

    THIS HAPPENED TO ME COUPLE TIMES. NEVER BUY ON LINE AGAIN. LOST ABOUT 20.000. COPART IS A GAMBLE

    • @theautoinfo7067
      @theautoinfo7067 5 років тому

      I kind of disagree. Copart allows you to inspect a vehicle at certain times. If you blindly bid on a vehicle then yes it is a gamble. One part I also think is sort of a gamble is how you can only test transmissions and the drivetrain by putting the vehicle in gear and moving it slightly. There are no road tests and that parts to me is slightly a gamble too. But it can also be argued that you have to take in the fact of the overall condition of the vehicle (is it clean, does it look maintained, are the fluids normal looking and at proper levels) and the current damage of the car. Typically you won't have a bad engine in a car that has rear end body damage. But then again it could be a cover up to try and sell the car as rear damage when its real main damage is a blown engine. Always do your due diligence. And I'm not saying you didn't do enough, just trying to inform people before they make mistakes.

    • @theautoinfo7067
      @theautoinfo7067 5 років тому

      I don't hate on salvage card because I have rebuilt them and drive 2 rebuilt cars currently. I just want people to open their eyes when buying and buy logically. I don't see the point in a car with minor damage getting crushed when it can easily be repaired and driven. Salvage is just a word on a paper. If the same car has the same damage but it is not labelled salvage then what is the difference? Just a word on a title. People only dislike salvage / rebuilt cars because they buy them from people who hide damage and bad repairs. They read terrible stories online and every automotive blogging site says to stay away from salvage cars... I only want to earn people to do their due diligence before bidding. And I never blame copart for anything. Sometimes I might dislike them but they are just an intermediary. All research and inspection responsibility is ours as the buyer.

    • @theautoinfo7067
      @theautoinfo7067 5 років тому

      And of course some cars should be crushed and never repaired based on the extent of the damage. That's when you get hack job "mechanics" pieceing a car back together and dropping it onto an unsuspecting buyer. Or they will wash the title or just try and hide the fact it has been rebuilt until after it is sold.

      They are real. Copart is a billion dollar company. I really like their business model but that's about it. The fees are ridiculous and without a dealers license you can't really bid on cars except public only auctions. To buy dealer cars you need to go through a 3rd party and that's even more fees. But it is all real. I've purchased probably 15 cars from copart. The Porsche in my recent video was from copart.

I did this by first filling the fuel filter, then filled up the injector pump (located just in front of the block) by taking off the banjo bolt at the top and pouring diesel in. I then cracked the injectors and cranked the engine over a good bit until all the injectors were wet.

    I watch these videos to see what other people are doing I do lawn mower repair small engine repair.! Doesn't anybody start at the beginning like cleaning the dirt and dust and crap off. Clean the carburetor out with carburetor cleaner before even trying to start it. Most people started without even checking anything and suck stuff through the carburetor on top of sucking it into the intake.! You do more damage this way. Never tried to start anything to you check the gas for stale gas. Dirt or a dirty filter. And with all that dust it probably sucked a lot of dirt into the carburetor even with the old filter. That thing needs to be power washed and cleaned before even turning over
