Hi,

I have not run the marauder in a while. I would like to crank her over a bit to circulate the oil before starting the engine. What is the easiest way to disable the fuel or ignition? The reset switch in the trunk?

Either hold the pedal to the floor while cranking or pull the fuel pump relay under the hood.

Just start the car normally. It will be just fine

^ that or if you're extra paranoid hit the inertia switch in the trunk hard enough to trip it before cranking then reset it when you want to start it.

Thanks folks.

After an oil change even though I pre-fill the filter, I hold the gas pedal to the floor while cranking for about 20 sec then side step the pedal while still cranking and starts w/oil pressure every time.

very convenient. I hope to remember that come oil change.
