Here's the story in a nutshell.

My car has been sitting in my driveway for 4 months w/o running. I had a problem with the IC fitting with the new radiator, then I had a problem with the N-Tech battery fitting in the engine bay, ended up relocating battery. When I try to start the car it acts as if the battery is too low to start the car. Lights dim, car TRIES to start but doesn't. My gas tank is next to empty (with 4 month old gas). Any have any suggestions what to try?

Maybe it's just flooded.

Yeah ... it could just be flooded ... but you said it seems the battery is to weak to start ... so have you tried to remedy this by jumping it with a car or a charger? You didn't make that clear and I'd hate to think you're posting without trying that. The old gas itself should be fine, but you should get a 5 gal can and put that much in there so that you can at least make it to a gas station, and it will dilude whatever problems you might have with the gas. It's possible that you have a shakey ground through relocation ... but if you haven't tried to jump the battery then I don't want to sit here and come up with other maybes.

1st thing: If it sounds like your battery is weak, then charge or jump it and let it charge.

2nd thing: Don't let your car sit with little to no fuel in it, because condensation will form inside your tank.

I suggest you try to jump the car.
