I have an 82 GT that I'm trying to get up and running. Car ran great a little less than a year ago when my buddy had it. Since then I bought it off him and it has sat for about 9 months without being cranked. I don't know what he did to it, but you have to hit the horn once or twice in order to get it to turn over. When you tap the horn, the needle in the rpm gauge jumps. Since the car has been sitting, it won't run at all, but that's most likely a fuel issue that I know how to fix. My dilemma is the car was turning over a few days ago with the stupid horn trick, but now, even with a battery that is fully charged and with the horn tapping, it won't even turn over enough for me to get the car running with carb cleaner and gas. Anyone have any idea what the deal is with the horn beeping causing the rpm needle to jump and having to be honked in order to get the car to fired up, or why the car isn't turning over at all now? I'm at a loss at this point. Could definitely use any help I can get on this. Thanks.
