my FD has been sitting for 4 months, startup problems
 
Well after sitting motionless in my garage for maybe 4 months or a little more, I go to fire it up, It tries to crank, like it wants to go, but it just dosent catch. i checked the battery and thats fine. anyone have any ideas? sparkplugs maybe? Car ran fine last time I used it.

you should do a little preparation if you're going to let it sit for more than a month at a time.

check to make sure you are getting you are getting spark from your spark plug wires and if you are getting fuel.

Are you smelling fuel when you're cranking it?

If no, i would check to see if the fuel pump is actually turning on.

Check fuses and relays while you're at it.

I'd say its flooded also. Just had the same issue with mine after it sat.
