I am in the process of trying to get my car running after being in the garage for at least a year. Time to get it back out on the road this summer. I am also thinking about selling it, since my son is 16 now and eyeing it a little too much. Not a starter car by any means.
In any case, it is failing to start. I replaced the spark plugs, and I've checked to make sure I am getting a spark. Turns over fine, but looks like no fuel to cylinders. How do I check if fuel pump is working and injectors or working? It's possible I need to replace the fuel -- but I used a "long term storage" additive to the fuel tank before I garaged it.
I'd bet $1000 its not the fuel. It is likely the fuel pump. How long have you cranked it? It may take a while to refill the lines after sitting so long.

Too much to list...
I would suspect the Fuel, however, it may be worthwhile just spraying some neet fuel into the intake. if you get a cough, or more, you at least confirm its fuel. The other question is do the plugs come out wet or dry after cranking. The electric fuel pump should get fuel their pretty quickly.
