Car has been sitting for a WHILE now.
I need some help getting it back up and running.
I will swap all the fluids once I can see signs of life.
The car is cranking, and sometimes stutters.
There is Spark, and I smell fuel.
I am out of ideas on what it can be.
I really want to get the car running again, but I need someones help.
In person would be better than asking me to try this, then try that.
But I recently lost my job, so I have more time than money right now.
I can pay with Beer, or a bit of $$ if someone can come out to help with this.
PM Me, or hit me up on Facebook if you can help.

Yeah could be something simple, just gotta diagnose it right.
I may be available next week but it's hard cuz I live so far away in chilliwack. you are in Vancouver?

Sorry man,
I was on Vacation all week last week.
I am in Maple Ridge.
PM me if you think you can make it out sometime.

Check your engine compression. Some time valves don't close all the way after sitting awhile.
-
ignition control module?

how about just bad fuel? siphon/drain/otherwise remove the old fuel and put in new. purge the line, filter and rail by disconnecting the return line at the soft line where it connects to the hard line back to the tank(near the regulator) and running the pump.
pull the plugs out and clean/gap/replace them if needed. leave plugs out and crank the engine for a few seconds to purge the fuel in the rail and injectors.
hook it all up again and try it now with a fresh battery.
totally could be a skipped timing belt, low compression, bad ground, bad PCM etc, but if its been sitting for a long time the fuel goes bad.

Also try pushing it like 10-15 feet...then try again.
