I've been getting PMs about this problem, I received 3 last week.

I had enough fuel, that wasn't it.

The battery was bad. I had to use jumper cables to get it going. After all the cranking and trying even the cables were not doing it, so I just took the battey from my daily car and there it was! Strange, I know...

I quess the weak battery didnt have enough juice to close the relays, while the car sat for a few years.

I give you props for giving us an answer! There's nothing better than reading through a thread and finding out your problem was the same as the OP's and you got to fix the issue. Thanks man!
