im guessing the car ran fine before it was sitting..... make sure the battery connections are good.. so theres power inside the car but it just wont turn over ?? or no power in the car at all

The fuel could of have broken down, you might have to drain all the old fuel out and put in some new one.

i dont see the gas going bad in just a couple months. my car sat 4 for years. it started up with jus a new bat. i didnt run all that well but it did run. it could have been the gas. but none the less i sat for 4 years. and still started.

Yeah that's weird it won't start, my 89 civic was burried in, at times 6 feet of snow during this past winter and if fired up just fine, I changed oil before I fired it up. I had it sit for 4 months.
