The Mx-3 shall sit for 5 weeks...
soooo the license is currently suspended due to unpaid tickets from last year and its going to be about 5 weeks till shes back on the road again. butttt i took her down the block today and she just doesnt seem right, its been a bout 3 weeks since shes seen asphalt and i started her and let it run for about15 minutes everyother day, i guess it just seems like theres something keeping it from running at full potential, any ideas on what i should do to prepare it for the next 5 weeks of sitting so i can kinda guarentee that shell run when im ready???

Just park it, disconnect the battery and after 5 weeks reconnect and start it.

And 5 weeks is nothing. Try parking your car for half the damn year.

Indeed what do you think we do when we store our cars for the winter. I bought my Rx8 in Thanksgiving weekend in October, drove it for the weekend, than put heraway for the winter. Now that's a tease!
