My car sat for 2 weeks, started for 10 seconds then stalled and now still sits...

its an 85 dodge lancer es automatic. It got a flat so I let it sit for 2 weeks and then I went to move it and it started for 10 seconds and stalled-hasnt started since then. Its getting gas, has new air filter, and I put new spark plugs in it for the hell of it. Its my delivery car so I really dont want to take it somewhere and pay just to see what is wrong with it. Anybody had any similiar problems? It ran great before it sat.

Possibly your battery? If they sit for long enough they will loose charge. Jump it and see if it works.

naw, battery was still fully charged, but I ran it down trying to start it-then I jumped it-I dont get this problem, It ran fine when I parked it, and then it started up for a second before it stalled, it did rain a hell of a lot for the weeks it sat, but I wd40'd the hell out of all the wires and cap and rotor and bacsically the whole motor.

If is is a carburated car, put a screwdriver down the carburator and start it up after you dry the spark plugs. Good luck.
