'98 GT won't start

[whipdan]

Howdy!

I have been storing the car for several years and usually start her up every few months without any issues. Tried this weekend and she won't fire. Cranking fine. Gas is about 1/4 tank and has been there a while.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

So the gas has "been in there a while"? That would be my first look. Did you use Stabil-fuel additive?

Is she getting spark,and how old is the fuel?

Haven't checked the spark. Fuel (my bad) is a couple of years old since I have been out of state. I didn't think I would be away so long and did not add in fuel stabilizer. I did start her up about 2 months ago on the first crank.

i would check and clean the plugs off. or just install new plugs. i get this concern every now and then from vehicles that havnt been started in a long time

I could try that. The car only has 4500 miles and is like new. Wifey didn't like the stick after I bought her the car 10+ years ago.

I'm used to old muscle cars...is there a way to add some fuel as primer?
