need help, won't start
Thanks in advance for your help. Here is the story. I bought a 1993 Coupe, it has 33K miles, automatic, the owner had let it sit for 5 years in his garage without starting it. At some point the security horns went off, he tried to shut it off with the fob but it did nothing so he disconnected the horns. When he decided to sell it he put in a gallon of gas and tried to start it, turned over but did not start. I'm picking up the car tomorrow and would appreciate any thoughts on how and what I should check realtive to the security issue before checking obvious things, spark, fuel pressure, etc:

Well I had bought an 84 crossfire that sat for 15 years, Only thing I had to do to get it started was :
(1) Fuel Pump Relay
(2) Fuel sending unit/ Pump ( was rusted real bad & laying on botoom of tank )
(3) Fuel Filter
(4) Flushed lines
(5) Cleaned inside fuel tank realy good / filled with Fresh Gas
Car Cranked right up after that....
Have done lots more since But that got it started for the first time since I've had it...
Good Luck...
