It's unfortunate you tried to start it after sitting for 5 years. You'll need to flush the ENTIRE fuel system, likely replace the fuel pump, have the injectors professionally serviced and cleaned.

Additionally if it sat without proper prep, you may have damaged the engine internally by scraping rust across all the machined surfaces.

While this article deals with 2nd gens primarily, the 13B 1st gen has almost the same EFI system so most applies:
