Won't stay running.

Hello.

I just got my RX7. It's an 86 n/a.

I have a problem with it. It cranks and turns over, but it doesn't start. It ran fine for a few days, and now it doesn't want to start.

The car sat for over a year before I bought it, and it has only been driven maybe 3 times since I got it on Friday, so basicly it's been driven 3 times in the past year. I don't know if maybe the gas has gone bad, or what.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

hey, it could very well be that the gas has gone bad, but it could also be that it has gotten badly flooded. Here is a site that deals with the unflood procedures... http://www.rx7.com/tech/unflood-fc.html . Anyway, good luck. Nothing sucks worse than car trouble!
