Default Car won't start! PLenty Of spark/Fuel/Battery/Compression just keeps cranking??

Battery is low now but before the car would just crank and crank and crank, then when I let off the Intank fuel pump would make this Horribly *clicking* sound some times for a couple seconds other times for a WHILE after I stopping cranking the engine. Not really sure what it is.. The car has been sitting for about 2 months now haven't really had time to look at it. Just went out to start the car one day in the winter and it was really cold and I got nothing, and its been sitting ever since.


If you have any suggestions Id really appreciate it!!!

i've seen similar problems with my friends car. since its been sitting for so long, its probably bad gas. gas doesnt like to be stored for that long. what fixed my friends car was a fresh tank of gas. after a few tries, it cranked right up. good luck.

I'll give it a whirl, but it was good Gas when it first stopped working. Hmm I guess I'll try and take some gas cans to the gas station and get a fresh battery in there and try that out.

You may have a leaky injector. The timing could be off also. Take the spark plugs and injectors out for a day and let the gas in the cylinder dry out. Replace and immediately try to crank. If that doesn't work, make sure you haven't skipped time.
