I have a 96 Caravan, 3.3 eng, it has been sitting for 2 years, I would
start it every 2 months or so, last time I tried it would not turn over
and when I made sure it had a full charge and good conection on the
battery, it turned over slowler and would not start, it gets spark, I
tried to spray starting fluid into the intake and it still will not start,
any clues, Please help

There's a good chance that the gas is bad and that there is a gummy residue.

If it cranks over slow you need to find out why!!! just because you have a
fully charged battery does not mean the terminals are clean. take the
terminals off and clean the battery post's and batter cables
