it has ben sitting for about 2 years. i changed battery and it turns over fine just wont fire. where should i start?

 

i'd consider going to buy about 3 or 4 bottles of Heet and put it in the gas to clean it up a lil bit, and also change the plugs/plugwires and doing an oil change. Have you tried spraying some starting fluid in the throttle body to see if it will fire, if it starts then you have a fuel problem.

the bad part about trying to start something thats been sitting there that long and not doing a tune up on it, you run into alot of small problems that add up quickly

 

+1 probably just gummed up gas

 

do you hear the fuel pump come on?

 

the ethanol in the newer gas nowadays cant sit for very long and it starts to separate, as stated above, try some starting fluid or the like

 

Yea, very true! Its shelf life is 3 months..Unless you use sta-bil.

Im sure its the fuel. Id Just drain the fuel. And put in fresh.

 

Actually, two years... There is a decent chance it still has "real" gas in it.

I would listen for a fuel pump whine first and then go from there.

Also, try laying your foot on the accelerator while cranking. The TPS might be off and if it is, it wont fire in a normal start.

 

a can of seafoam in the tank wouldn't hurt. pour it in, then top it off with fresh gas. as long as it isn't mixed with any other fuel treatments.

 

the fuel pump didnt come on. is that located inside gas tank?

 

yep, in the top
