Oil Pre lube.....Car sitting 8 months......

[dunce]

I just bought a 2005 convert that has been sitting indoors,climate controlld conditions.

HOW can I prelube the engine to prevent a dry start.

Can I spin the oil pump as in other cars via the distributor shaft??

If not, HOW can I kill the ignition (with pulled the spark plugs) so as to spin the engine under minimal load??

thanks,

I believe the oil pump is in the front engine cover, so I think you aren't going to be able to prime it. Pull the fuel pump relay. You don't want to kill spark (and pump fuel) as that will wash down the walls.

That will do it as there is not a distributor on a viper. I believe the Fuel pump relay or fuse in in the power distribution box on the left fender under the hood.
