Please help, 1994 Tempo idle for 8 months
I bought this Tempo from family member, good deal. However, it has been sitting through New England weather, idle for 8 months. Charged it up, lights, etc. work, but does not want to turn over at all. Any ideas? Hate to have it towed to garage.

Try giving it a boost and let the boosting car run for a good 7-8 minutes to bring the battery up to cranking power. It should at least crank. If it does not crank, replace the battery and go from there. Good Luck.

The gas in the tank and lines is sure to have changed to lacquer by now.
How much fuel is remaining in the tank? It will have to be drained; you may be able to do this yourself by disconnecting the fuel return hose, attaching another line, and running the pump. Put the old gas in an approved container! It will still burn! Just not well enough to run an engine.
