I have a car that has been sitting for five years and it wont start. It will rotate when key is turned but wont start. But it will start when sprayed with starter fluid. The only way it will stay started is if I keep pressing the gas pedal. Gray smoke comes from the exhaust. When I got the car keys were missing so I replaced the ignition key switch myself and replaced the door locks too. The car has been sitting up on wood so it was not on the ground. I have an owners manual and there is so many things that could be wrong i can't even go through them all.[img:dfcff60f06]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/224954_IMG00348_1.jpg[/img:dfcff60f06][img]
