Car out of storage. Won't start.

Car has been layed up for about three months now. Fitted new battery and turns over and tries to start. Fuel, spark etc. seem ok. Is a S5 TII. Running fine before storage. Ideas?

Check for power at the fuel pump. I hear that is a common culprit.

Get some oil into each chamber to build up compression.

Make sure there is fuel in the tank.

Also, see this page: http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/unstore.htm

Ok. Fuel pump works. Fuel is about 4 months old and the tank is 3/4 full.
How do i get oil into the chamber? Is it ok to remove the spark plugs and pour a little 10w40 in?
