97 DX refuses to start *SOUND CLIP INCLUDED*
So basically, the car sat for 4 months, I went out to start it & move it, the thing wouldn't start. Thus, I replaced the fuel filter, some things I gathered which I hope you can from the sound clips are:
A) Has spark
B) Has fuel
After replacing the fuel filter, same sounds & no change.
To note, if I leave the car going for a minute or so it will turn over, but it will die a few seconds after.

What color is the spark? How are you testing it? Every plug?
Its clearly not the battery - if it were, the thing wouldnt be cranking. That also eliminates the starter.
If you keep trying to start it, you will flood the cylinders w/ fuel (assuming theyre working correctly) - this will make it harder to start.
If youre continuously trying to start it, you may want to pull the plugs and let it air dry for a bit...
