Default 96 GS LT4 won't start Help!!

Hello to C4 owners. I have a 96 GS LT4 Convertible that I don't drive. I should but no time. Only 600 miles on it. I try to start it up once or twice a year. I have a trickle battery charger hooked up to it. So battery is good. Gas tank is 1/2 full. Its been about 9 to 11 months and I tried starting it up today. THe car turns over but it doesn't fire up. Never had a problem before. Turn the key and it fires up. The service engine light has come on now. I don't remember but before it came on and went off when the engine was started previously. Before I wear down the battery and starter. I need some suggestions as to getting it started. All help is appreciated. Or do I roll it down an incline and try to jump start it or put it on a flat deck and take it to the dealer? You can email me directly M6grant@telus.net Thanks to all in advance for your help. Grant

You say that's the same gas in the tank for nearly a year now? I'm probably barking up the wrong tree(wouldn't be a first)but that might have something to do with it.Wish I could be more helpful: I'll be watching to see what got you started!
