NE sat for 4 days and wont start

I have a 1991 red RX-7 non turbo auto trans. I let it sit for a few days while my black RX-7 was getting tuned, jumped in it to move it and it wouldnt start! The car is completely stock(not even an intake). The engine turns over no problem but it just doesnt seem to want to start. I havent touched it since that night, but my question is, Has anyone ever had this issue?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

it's flooded due to sitting.It happens.
S5 right?..try to Mash the pedal to see if it defloods.(all the way to the floor).it may start that way.
If not,take the plugs out,clean them,Pull the EGI Fuse out( engine bay fuse block) Roll the engine over to expel excess fuel.Put about 2 tablespoons of oil in the spark plug holes,roll over 3 seconds,Put clean plugs back in and Put EGI Fuse back in,,
it should start up with no Foot on the gas.

Thanks man. I will try this tomorrow. Luckily I have premix sitting around for my black car and new plugs that were never needed. I will let ya know what happens.

Is there any thing wrong that causes them to flood? or why does it happen?
