Hello,

Looking for some help getting a wagon started. It was sitting for a few
months.
The car is turning over but doesn't start.
I have checked the fuel pump, relay, and overpressure switch and
everything seems fine.
I pulled one plug and I was seeing a spark when the car was turning
over.
Should I pull all the plugs and check them?
Any other ideas? Am I missing something?

Thanks

I'd start with the 50/50 question: is it ignition or fuel that's stopping
you? Try a spray of starter fluid in the air cleaner (I usually spray the
filter a couple seconds and close the box back up). If it goes "vroom" all
you need is fuel. Otherwise, look for ignition problems, including the
timing having jumped.

Mike
