    I really don't like driving the GP in the winter, and there's an 06 Accord V6 sitting outside that nobody uses so I'm thinkin I might just drive that till the spring. BUT it's winter over here and the thing hasn't been started in two-ish, maybe three months. Are there going to be any engine issues from it sitting that long in the winter without being started or driven? I'm in northern IL so it get's pretty damn cold.

    Doesn't gas go bad in about a month?

    Get some "Gas Treatment" that "improves the quality of the gas".

    It will probably run poorly till you get that bad gas out.

    You could siphon it out then put some new stuff in there, if you find the keys that is.

    ^^Not always.

    My GTP sat still for over 3 months and it had the battery hooked up with a 1/2 tank of 91 and it sat outside all winter. Put the motor in it and after a couple tries it coughed and started right up...just a little black smoke from all the crap gas.

    Well I've got a battery charger/tester if that's an issue, I just hope I don't have to siphen out all the gas. Would octane booster help?
