Hello, do you know what you're missing, Ignition Spark, or Fuel? Will it start with a shot of starting fluid? Here is a guide to check if you are missing Spark if the starting fluid doesn't start it for a second. See what you're missing, it will be either spark or fuel, and go from there. Depending on how long it's been sitting, checking for power at the Fuel Injectors and a couple sensors would be next. Vehicles that have been sitting for a while are prone to rodent damage. They love to chew on wires and make nests. So let us know what you find. Checking for Spark is actually the easiest thing to do first.
