First thing first... determine if the problem is fuel, electrical or timing. How you do that is check if fuel pump kicking on and Sparks are coming to car. If your not then Sparks could be a sensor (Crank/cam) fuel could be a safety switch or pump or regulator. If not check timing jump. Spray ether into intake and try and start it

I'm guessing he got it fixed about 2 1/2 years ago

That's true. And I can't say I've never responded to an ancient thread without checking the date first.
