RX7 won't stay on?

I have just started my 93 after it was sitting for 2 years. The car started after many tries and stayed running for about 20 min. I tried revving it pretty high and then when the rpm's came down the car stalled. Now the car wont start. Does anyone have any advice.
thanks

First replace the gas. If it sat with gas in the tank, that was bad, it may be worse now.

Replace gas and spark plugs. Before putting new plugs in, crank the car with the leading (bottom) spark plugs out to expel any extra fuel in the combustion chambers.

Make sure the battery is good (and charged).
