Did anyone move your car without warming it up?

If so, you may have the lawnmower syndrome - the car won't start after it has been run a very short time.

After having lawnmower syndrome, our family rule for white (aluminum) engines was - don't start it if you do not intend to warm it up fully.

Klaus' recommendation is, as always spot on.

I have had collapsed lifters on several old cars - in each case the car had infrequent oil changes - and usually only one or two lifters acted up at a time.

When your engine sat, most of the valves were not open, thus ALL the lifters had no reason to collapse.

One of our 850s did have a lifter that would act up - the car always started fine, but a lifter would be noisy for several minutes - an oil change usually silenced the problem.
