Greetings!
on the not starting problem, you will have to drain the gas tank if it has been sitting for that long. you can do this back by the fuel pumps. it is the largest hose back there.Letting one of these cars sit is not good at all for it. Give it a small shot of starting fluid and see if it wants to hit. Then if it dont check for fire. also listen and see if when you cut the ignition switch on, you should hear the fuel pumps run for a few seconds.I hope this helps and thanks for your question! Ricky
