Default Help!! Wont start!! (off topic...sort of)

Mdad just brought home his new toy, a white 2000 TransAm Firehawk (he said he loved the vettes but they were a lot harder to get in and out of). Fully optioned, 7500 miles, auto with 3.23 perf. diff. The guy we bought it from has had it stored in his garage without starting it since early December! At first, it took a couple of tries to start but ran and drove Perfect. We've started and drove it about 3 or 4 times for 70 miles so far, but now it wont start. It turns over just fine, but never starts. What gives?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

I know its not a C5/Z06, but it is an LS1 and I was wondering if anyone might know what could go bad/wrong with not starting it for so long, and if anyone else has experienced this.

ANY help is Most appreciated!! :smash:
Thanks!

Mongoos
