If you tried to crank it with a low battery, you might have flooded it. Try these steps and see if it will start:

The fluid is for helping the car start and build compression. It's independent of the transmission type of the car.

pull the plugs, dry them, and put Seafoam in the engine. then try to start it.

i would try jumping it first.....i had a similar problem.....the batt was dead....came to find out the alt took a shit on me.

If the alt and batt are replaced and it still wont start, try simply just turning the key into the "on" position and let it prime the pump system, let it wait there for 30 seconds then try turn it on. Thats what I had to do to get it to work after I let it sit for the winter.
