yeah the manual suggest that you should hold the gas pedal half way then try to start the car. if that don't work, floor the gas then start the car. once it start let go of the gas. i don't know if this also help but you could press the gas seveval time before you try and start the car. next time if you do leave the car for a long time without driving, it a good idea to start the car atleast once a week.

i held the gas pedal down an also tried holding it down all the way an still nothing. the car dosent turn over or make any noise like Rrrrrrr, someone told me it could be the starter but not sure.

thats my only guess without seeing the car is the starter or maybe you have no spark

the only way to get any spark or correct timing is to get the motor cranking, sounds like a faulty starter to me or even maybe a bad ground somewhere
post a list of everything that works, i.e. dash lights, radio, door chime, fuel pump priming blah blah blah...and we can help you further

Sounds like the starter, but let us know everything you've tried and checked. And what works or what doesn't. Should help us come to a better conclusion.

well the horn an every lights work. its just when i turn the key no sound like Rrrrr or the engine turning over. i was gonna get it towed to a auto repair shop to get a full tune-up an change he motor oil an filter an flush the cooling system an also get a new starter installed. Does anyone know how much or around how much it would cost to get my car up and running again before i take it in so i know around how much its going to be

It's not uncommon for starters to sieze if they're left unused for too long. Try LIGHTLY tapping the starter with a hammer, then try it again
