My van has been sitting in the driveway for 3 years without a transmission. I need to get it fixed. What do you recomend to get it started?

I would put in a new battery.drain gas tank.i would take off valve covers.take can oiler spray oil around valve stems. lubricate them.then i would take out all spark plugs.take can oiler spray oil down the spark plug holes to help seal rings to build up compression.besure to disable the fuel system and spark ignition before cranking engine with out spark plugs.you do this to prime oil pump and lubricate cylinder walls before cranking engine.

Pull spark plugs out spray some wd 40 into the engine spark plug holes, not a lot! and then disconnect the coil wire and crank the engine over for 20 seconds or till it builds oil pressure or oil light goes out. then install the plugs and wires and put the coil back on and fire it up, also remove any old fuel trom the tank replace the fuel filter put in 5 gallons of fresh fuel buy a can of lucas stablizer fluid to add to the fuel and fire it up. Drive it for a couple of miles make its ok. Then replace the fuel filter. and change trasmisson oil.

Go an buythe tranny for it an put it on or pay someone to do it
