the way i see it... (2L zetec turbo engine. brand new everything)
im going to put in 100% mineral 10w40 oil it to begin with. remove coil pack sensor, remove fuel pump replay. and give it a good cranking over (say maybe 10 - 15 seconds??)
replace them. then fire it up
let it run for half an hour / to an hour. then dump all the oil and change filter
does that sound ok for the initial start up of the car?
im shitting it
