The first thing to do is listen for the fuel pump. Turn the ignition on but don't try to start it. The fuel pump should run for a few seconds. Try spraying a little starting fluid down the throttle body. It should run a few seconds on that. If so it's definitely a fuel problem. If not it's an ignition problem (no spark). If the vehicle was parked without a full gas tank you could have water condensation in the gas tank that's preventing the engine from starting. You'll need to drain the old gas, or at least put a bottle of Drygas in the tank to absorb the water. Hope that helps! Jim
