Background: The car has been sitting for about two years in my backyard, the temps out there run from 5F to 85F year round.

What I have done: I have already pulled the tank to check for varnish, there was none as I had drained the fuel system before leaving it to sit. There is fuel pushing up through the rails and the pressure is within range. The car will run on starting fluid but die the moment you stop spraying.

Any thoughts on what may cause this problem? I am thinking it may be the Ignition Module, or perhaps the fuel injectors.... but honestly not that sure!
