You will have to drain the fuel at a min, oil change etc. You shouldn't have started it before you did those things. But I suggest you Search online on how to get a car started after sitting for a year or more.

If you didn't disconnect the battery when you parked it, you need a new battery. If it will crank but not start try spraying a little bit of starting fluid down the throttle body. It should run on that for a few seconds. If so, it's a fuel problem. Turn the ignition on but don't try to start the engine. Can you hear the fuel pump? It should run for a few seconds. If not you need to find out why the fuel pump isn't running. If it won't run on the starting fluid it's an ignition problem (no spark). If you didn't park it with a full gas tank you could have water condensation in the gas. Try a bottle of Drygas in the tank to eliminate that. Hope that helps! Jim
