Thanks, Ken I'd change the oil and filter and make sure the battery is fully charged. Then I'd crank the engine without her being able to fire-up (don't know how to do that on thses cars). Once you see oil pressure I think you can then safely fire it up. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FAFP90 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 IIRC, on the Ford GT, if you depress the accelerator to the floor while starting the car, it will NOT let the engine turn over. It is part of the oil change procedure. Maybe someone can confirm whether or not the same logic was put in the GT500's computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
