Default RE: Re-starting an 850

Dave is quite right about spinning her over to get some oil pressure prior to starting - a very good idea. On "old" cars the way to do this was to pull off the HT lead ... However, on these new fangled things it's better to disconnect the flywheel sensor lead and then crank it over. This fools the ECU into thinking the engine's not actually spinning and hence no fuel or sparks are produced but oil pressure is built up. I always do this after an oil change to make sure the oil is where it's supposed to be prior to firing up ...
Good luck
