- How to start a car. Don't just start a car that hasn't run in a while. In this video I show you what to check before you attempt to start a car that has not run for 6 months or more so you don't damage the engine.

Today my 6 year old son told me I should get “spray starter fluid” to start my car that’s been sitting. He said he knows because he watches “Chris fix” I looked it up here & sure enough! Thanks Chris for teaching my little one mechanics! Lord knows this momma needs the help! 😂
Cool kid. :)
"why Chris no use WD40?" 😄
As an car guy, Chrisfix is an mechanic that doesn't rage or swear on his project cars. What a legend.

I remember watching this video when it came out several years ago when I had purchased my first car and I had no idea how to fix anything on it. Watching your videos gave me confidence and knowledge and yesterday I just bought an '04 mustang. I'm really excited to have the knowledge and the ability now to feel comfortable with cars. Thanks for what you do.
How's the Mustang treatin ya?
I’m looking to buy an 04 mustang, do you still think it’s a good purchase?
Great comment. I salute your initiative and willingness to go and do it. Well done 👍👍
I came to this channel coz I did got me a 04 mustang as well, ready here to fix it
50% of comments: rip hummingbird/hummingbird jokes
Other 50%: "extra lubrication is never a bad thing"
Wait but you're comment is non of them... Or it's a mix of them?

Awesome!!!
When you watched newer episodes and find the video where the driftstang was born :(
Started its life out in California haha
I'd pay a good amount of money for this guy to be my mechanic
Me too!!!
*chrisfix wanna know your location*
Hair its a joke because Chris is funny
The best mentor... even if i have to pay with whatever
Or he might be in college pursuing engineering he would charge millions

So true, mechanics wants to make it complicated so that they can justify their charges. So bad, not many honest mechanic out there.
I don't even own a car yet I watch these videos all the time. they are so entertaining.
Same 😂
Same. I just watch so I will know what do do when I get a car.
yup. same here buddy

Hey Chris, you have inspired me to become a mechanic. Your videos inspired me to become one, it’s not some desk job, where you are sitting there punching keys all day for the rest of your life. New cars come in a lot, giving new experiences every time. I actually am going to register for my first semester of mechanic class for my senior year of high school. Just wanted to give thanks ❤
Thinking about buying this 95 E36 I found for 600 bucks it’s not running and I’ve been needing a project car now that my daily is fully up and running. I love your content and it is inspiring me to grow my mechanic skills thank you Chris!
You forgot to check blinker fluid.
Lmao
Hahahaha yeah
I checked mine and imagine that! It was EMPTY!!!
Dont listen to him guys! only the Headlights need to be checked. ;^/
Yeah he forgot to refill the DEF fluid too. (ur comment was way better, just sayin)
rewatching this series for like the 4th time because i love it. i dont own a car because im 12, but i have a feeling these are gonna be handy later. thanks for making videos chris :)
You can learn many things in this video
It will because it is almost impossible to find a good mechanic that does not cheat these days.
I'm proud of you. Nice job! Keep learning! You can never learn too much!
2 more years you can work a job n buy a car mane
2 more years till you can drive!
Bought an old Datsun today and I’ve never worked on cars but this beaut has my full attention. This is a perfect video to start me up, thank you!
What an awesome video! Exactly the information I needed, especially the fogging fluid! I never even knew of such a thing, and I was rather worried about the cylinder walls and pistons. I'm about to get my precious car back from a 2-year impound, and I really don't want to damage the internals, when doing so.
Thank you for doing this great, informative video (with clear and concise instructions)! I hope you're getting paid well for these videos, because you sure deserve it!
RIP bird :(
The bird will be remembered RIP
This is my 12th time watching and I noticed you forgot blinker fluid?
Lyric Country he also forgot the mufflee bearing
and he didn't turn on the radio when starting the car... very unprofessional
Ur face explains ur feeling
@@befer why would a drift car even need a radio?

I'm in school for my 310S and I can't stress how much your videos have helped me get through school and my apprenticeship. Thank you so much for being my "Day One" since day one haha
Man I love these sort of things, bringing back to life old cars, computers, games, clothes, shoes whatever it is its pretty cool fixing shit yourself and that sense of accomplishment afterwards, you feel more proud of the work you did and the car

Great video! Just what I was looking for.
I haven’t worked on cars myself since high school except for fluid changes and some trailer hitches.
Thanks for introducing something’s I never would have thought of and products to use to make job easier.
I am getting my dads little 1996 S-10 that my brother didn’t take care of, after his passing to use around the house.
I like that you don’t have any annoying music playing either. Will definitely subscribe!

Thank you so much for this video! My brothers and my first cars were mustangs. So my bias made me click this video lol. Ive got an old Nissan that has been only turned on 3x since 2020, but want to gift it back to my brother as a winter beater. I didnt know starting cars that sit long was bad. Now I know what products to buy and what all to check to make sure I dont blow the engine before it leaves my driveway! Thank you for putting out a nice, clear, concice video! Straight to the point, perfect demos, no over complicated car talk lol. Im excited to do this next weekend! ❤❤❤

Dude u removed the bird like it’s normal wtf😂😂
To be fair, a dead bird is quite normal. Death is all around us.

Gonna re-watch this whole mustang arc because it's too good.
Man i love your youtube channel all the other auto channels hide the shortcuts for sum reason and you just make more sense love what your doing man and i hope to learn and start my own business

ChrisFix hi can you do a video on how to convert drumb brakes to disc brakes please
Barney is dead
@@chrisfix love the channel and content bro, you've helped me get through many obstacles with my project car.
I have a 99 Infiniti g20, I was wondering if you have any idea how to bypass the neutral safety switch, I wanna do this just to move the car around for the time being. I've replaced the switch and tried all the adjusting I possibly could but still no good. I'm not ready to take it to the shop just yet, but I do need to move it. If you have any info either way, I'd appreciate it.
@@exocraft8134 I think he has I could be wrong tho
Probably my favorite chrisfix vid
One more thing to check guys is the air box. Like Chris said, lots of animals could nest inside there and you don't your engine sucking up nests. So just open it up and make sure there are no nests in there, and just dust off the air filter while your at it.
Absolutely, I'm really surprised Chris missed that! Hes ALWAYS on point.
2020: can’t believe this car used to be in that condition good job chris!!
Thanks a lot! I'm still trying to keep it nice even though it's getting a cage soon lol
But when Chris
Jesus, that hummingbird creeped me out.
o, hey look. a dead hummingbird
"Just look for stuff like this" *Throws dead Hummingbird aside like Garhbage
Yeah that hummingbird creeped me out
Poor bird, looks comical though the way it's stuck in there hahaha =P
god imagine he didn't check and it caught fire then he looked and there was a charred dead hummingbird
This video was VERY helpful. It was exactly the fluids I was looking for to change! AND I too am doing a late 90’s mustang!! GREAT VIDEO MAN!!
I watched these out of order so now I kind of know how you got to the fuel pump diagnosis. My truck sounded exactly like that when my fuel pump went. Thanks for the videos. I'm learning little by little.

Awesome video, and I hope you hit 10 million very soon!
You know......u might find a humming bird here or there so just look around
+Dominick Mack lol
does it still have that nice hum without the humming bird oh wait it never had a nice humming sound its a mustang
have a minivan with either a computer problem ground wire to the computer or alternator the battery display kept going up and down was not started in 3 months just started it so to avoid the frogging issue any clue to what we should check 1995 town and country chrisfix please hope its not the blinker fluid lol
after 4000 dollars of work including a transmission rebuild were a wiring harness had to be replaced the alternator is only 2 years old and does not seem to get hot and the battery is charging so pretty sure its a wire related to the computer
Thanks Chris! I haven't had to pay for gas since watching this video. ;-p
No prob! I expect the drift car to be full when I wake up in the morning with your new knowledge!
This was very useful. Thank you for making this
Ultimate respect for Chrisfix responding to comments for 6 years!!!!! I wish I could commend you in the greatest way possible!

Tip from a someone who does it own own on his semi truck poke a hole in the oil filter to drain it sideways or up and down filters. Makes it alot easier you 1 can control the flow and on the up and down you don't risk dropping it and oil going everywhere. 👍 Love the videos bud this is like the 12th time going a random video Marathon of your videos.

My friend and I are about to start restoring a Jaguar MK10 that’s been sitting at his house for years. Only 19k miles and it’s mechanically great. I’m glad your help will ensure we start it safely.
How did it go?
Rewatching this series before a new vid! Cant wait for a supercharger/turbo install.
Cant wait either!
Hey Chris! I'm not sure if you're aware, but the key mechanisms in the 94-04 Mustangs require you to push that little lever right above the key to actually release it. I don't know if not doing such thing could harm the mechanism, but just wanted to let you know.
I wish I saw your comment. i just commented the same thing. He's running the risk of having his key fall out while the car is running.
Alex Rascon Yeah, I didn't know if there was an specific risk, but I knew it couldn't be healthy for him to just yank on the key like that.
Yeah, he can get away with it, but I would replace the ignition lock to be on the save side.
Alex Rascon Oh alright, and yeah it would make sense to replace it. I've had an '02 v6 and it was strange at first with the key dismissal.
+Paul Vogel haha yeah, I had a 95' GT and it took me a good 20 minutes to figure out how to get the key out. strange design indeed.
you forgot to check the blinker fluid ;)
You mean... Your rear view mirror fluid! Check that every other mile or your eyes! Whichever comes first! :p
That car is gonna need piston pull-back springs soon. I hope they're in the budget.
Seems to me that his seat ignition needs a check as well.
Boring and old jokes ^^^ keep scrolling

Such a helpful video for someone who’s just starting out like my self. Very exciting. Thank you for the detailed video!

How in the hell can so many people dislike your videos. I love watching your videos. You're the only person I've seen that goes into such detail in how to fix a problem. Which tools to use and what to look for in diagnosing the problem. To date, you have saved me over a thousand dollars by me fixing my own truck. If you had stock, I would so buy some. You rock Chris! Keep up the good work. You're a true blessing.
What a lovely comment! ❤
