take the plugs out and get new ones and also check the gas it could be bad- put some automatic transmission fluid in the two bottom spark plug holes before you put the new plugs in then have a friend push or pull your car at 20-25mph-let the car be p/p in second gear ,keep p/p until it starts all the way-youll know when it starts, it will start poppin and it should start smoking for a while but dont worry it is just the atf and gas burning off-make sure you let the car get warm, you might have to keep on the gas to keep it running at first, good luck

I was wondering if you ever got that problem figured out? I'm having the same problem, my car sat for 3 months and now it won't start. Turns over, spark plugs are firing, but it's just not firing up. I think the gas is bad. If i can rules that out, then I'm going to try the ATF trick.
