Need a tip of getting an engine to fire

You need to test to see what is causing it not to start.  Pull a plug and ground it on the valve cover with the plug wire still attached, while a freind turns the car over to see if it is sparking.  If not, then check the coil pack/distributor and associated wiring.

If works, then spray some starter fluid in the throttle body and see if that lets is start.  If that is the case, then it may be your fuel pump or injectors.

Last you need to check the mechanical timing if everything else checks out fine. 

I had something like this happen to me a while back and it turned out top be squirrels had gotten into my engine bay and chewed up a bunch of wires.  I was very happy that day.  Hope it goes well for you.

Just cause it's not carbed, doesn't mean that you can't spray starter fluid. 

19months - 95% sure it's the gas.

Be careful with the starter fluid... :-D

Using "a lot" of starter fluid is bad.  Mmmmmkay?

That's a great way to set the bead on big rig tires...  Those things can be a bitch.  But yea, moderation!

Could be the injectors are suck from old gas. I had to clean the injectors twice to get our SHO to run on all cylinders. The car sat for 7 years. I put fresh gas in before trying to start it.

Check the battery cables for corrosion, a bad ground or power feed to a fuse box can keep the computer from working. Also for real cold temps, I used to heat up the spark plugs on the gas stove to start my old rotary RX2. A propane torch might work OK in place away from a stove. Just warm up 3 plugs, the easiest to reach. New plugs couldn't hurt either.

Take a small vacuum hose off the intake and spray carb cleaner thru the port. Carb cleaner is more like gasoline than starting fluid. If you run a long hose from the port to inside the car you can drive it on carb cleaner. I've done it. Put the straw hose into the rubber hose, maybe a rag or two around them to keep it from leaking onto you. Make sure you have a full can because you will be spraying it 2 seconds on 1 second off to make it roll. It's a little tricky as to how much to spray, but after a few tries you should be able to keep it running.

19 months, it should fire. I started an old truck on 15 year old gas and it ran seemingly fine. The engine needs just a few things to run. Fuel, Air, Spark, and Compression. The trick is in making all these happen at the right time!
