If the car sat for an extended time, there are two things to consider.

1) Make sure the battery is fully charged. These cars are very sensitive to low prestart voltage. I recommend hooking up an automatic charger overnight, something with at least a ten amp output. A trickle charger won't cut it.

2) Check the fuel pressure. The fuel pump is prone to problems after an extended period of inactivity. Read the fuel pressure with a scanner and compare to specs.
