These cars can be a pita to get started after they have sat for awhile. It took a lot of cranking and battery charging to get my SD to light off after have sat for 8 months.

Crack the injector lines to make sure you are at least getting fuel to the injectors. If it has a block heater, plug it in that will help a lot. Just make sure the block heater is working, lots of times the cords are chaffed through.


If all else fails remove the air intake and have someone spray some starting fluid over the intake as you crank. Just don't make a habit of doing this.
