I acquired a pre-owned 3000GT a few months back. The item was in a condition of deterioration and disassembly, hence the price was appropriate.
I disassembled the engine compartment, replaced the oil pump, water pump, and timing belt. I have reassembled everything. Additionally, exhaust headers were added, since they were provided with some aftermarket components partly fitted.
I rebuilt and reinstalled the starter.
The cooling system, intake, and all engine-driven accessories are in their original packaging. I want to confirm that the engine would function post-repair and first attempts, so I assembled a battery and tested it. It starts and operates effectively. I applied a spray of carburetor cleaning, and the engine operates for around three seconds, indicating progress!
Given the prolonged inactivity, is the fuel pump likely malfunctioning? I added 5 liters of gasoline, but there was no indication of activity other than applying carb cleaning.
I will change the gasoline filter; maybe it will be beneficial. Are there further recommendations or assessments I could undertake?
It arrived without brake rotors installed, but with new ones in the trunk. A plethora of other peculiar phenomena. It seems like everything is present. 95 Not Applicable
