She sat for 2 months and now won't start. I think the engine isn't cranking. There's no rurr-rurr-rurr, it's a higher-pitched wee-wee-wee. Tried jumping it but no luck. There's smoke coming out the exhaust. Gas is good. It's a '90 non-turbo.
What do i do first? Should i try the marvel motor oil in the spark plug holes? I really don't want to have to pay to have this towed to a shop.
Thanks!
