I recently bought a 1986 porsche 944.It ran when it came home and it ran at a friends house while it sat there for about 6 months. It has been sitting for about two weeks and now will not start. It sounds like it wants to but wont. I tried a tune up to see if that would help. I replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, fuel filter, and ignition coil, but still will not start. What could it be? I have also replaced the battery as well. Please help.

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

The first thing to check for is fuel and spark.
Ensure that there is sufficient spark and fuel getting to the engine. Check fuel pressure and check sparks from plug wires.

Post your results and I will follow up.
