TX car wont start up help

The car was sitting for about a week waiting for my new instrumental cluster to get in and once installed, the car wouldn't start up anymore. Can anyone help me on whats going on with the car? The car started up at first but it was shaking alot... i then turned it off and tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't start anymore. Here is a video of how it sounds like.... Thanks in advance

Sounds like its flooded, although you may drained the battery a bit by trying to get it started. Go through the de-flood procedure and see if that fixes it.

Deflood, replace plugs, ensure map sensor line is still attached correctly and then enjoy the car.

deflooding

I find heating the plugs with a propane torch cleans them nicely. Burns off all the liquid and any carbon. Use a pair of pliers to hold the plug in the flame.

You might consider a fuel cut switch. Saves a lot of pain.
