Jay77 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Hi Guys, I just picked up a 88 Starion 60k miles, red, non running supposedly due to bad fuel pump. Will be going through entire fuel system and replacing parts from MKS. Assuming things go good with repairs I'll be looking to imprive performance from all around. Excited to get it this week and start working on it. Thanks. Ian from Denver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay77 Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 Been sitting for a long time so I'm sure its a good place to start. Replacing fuel lines, filters, etc.. I'm good at throwing money at things not needed lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 (edited) Welcome. A good rule of thumb is get the car running good before increasing performance. Maintenance before modifications. Edited April 7 by TexasQuest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the tank is salvageable! Welcome! There's alot of good info here. Service manuals are free to download on starquestgarage.net.
