I spent some money but hey car runs great,no codes, and starts without fail.
Car sat for a year only had it 2 weeks no start
1. new plugs, cap,wires, rotor, battery
no start
2. new module, stater, distrib., harmonic balancer, timing was set 10 degrees base, spout in or out no change,new tps, iac
no start
3. after 15 rotations starts rough. ran injector test was within haynes specs of pressure. fuel pump was coming on. new fuel filter. inertia switch on
no start
4. changed coolant air tempature sensor
no start
5.new ccrm- started 10 rotations but idled smoother
6.new o2 sensors
hard to start
7.starting fluid yeah it better start- fired right up idled smooth
8.starting fluid than hooked up to a scanner. every sensor operating correctly
cold morning no start
9. used starting fluid and would fire up. Once it was running I could floor it spin the tires.
10. new fuel pump 255 Holley
11.I can start it cold or hot and it fires right up.
Im just glad it was in the budget to do this. The car is now very reliable thank God for that Thank you guys for the suggestions

Well, on the positive side of things, you pretty much replaced all of the normal maintenance items so now you can focus on modding it!

Says he already got the fuel pump replaced.
Run a couple bottles of injector cleaner (one for the first couple tanks) , and 91-93 octane gas (if your not already)
The fuel lines may be junked up from the sit. Gas gets really duey (spelling?) after it sits and will make the engine hard to start.

Just my .02
Good luck.
