Good evening,

I sadly haven't started my car in 2 years or so and it isn't really at all now :/
I left Stabil in the fuel tank when parked, but still no go.
Any ideas/recommendations?

Thank you,
Rich

If it was running fine before and I was feeling super lazy I might try starting fluid.

Yepp, try spraying dashboard silicone into the intake while cranking. Maybe take the air filter off first.
Also..if it sat for 2 years you might want to replace the timing belt, especially if its a turbo.

Get someone to crank the ignition key while you stand by the right rear wheel and listen for the fuelpump. Without use, the fuelpump will gum up when with fuel stabilizer in the system.
