Lately I do this to any car that has been sitting for a week or more....the truck,
the GS, the Tauri.....any one of them.  You shoulda heard the CV and the '98 Sable
start after they'd been sitting for a while.....Zach or Mark would have wanted to
tear them down for rod bearings that instant.

Last time the CV sat, before being sold, it hadn't run all winter.  I cranked it for
about 40 seconds with the fuel pump button out, and it made ALL the difference.

Easy insurance.
