  1. NUMEROUS THINGS CAN BE WRONG AFTER SITTING.. YOU NEED TO ADD SOME FRESH GAS FOR ONE . CHECK THE WIRING THAT THE SQUIRRELS ,RATS OR ? HAVE NOT EATEN THEM AND CHECK TO SEE THAT THE STARTER IS GETTING POWER.. IT MAY JUST BE THE STARTER HAS FROZEN UP FROM SITTING ---RARE BUT IT HAPPENS. IF YOU HAVE LOTS OF MILES ON IT AND ITS A 4 CYLINDER, YOU MAY HAVE LOST THE TIMING BELT WHEN FIRST TRIED TO START IT .. IF ITS A V6 YOU MAY HAVE COMPUTER ISSUES.. TRY A NEW BATTERY NOT JUMPER CABLES TO INSURE YOU HAVE 100% POWER. CABLE DRAW ALOT OF USABLE POWER AWAY FROM THE BATTERY. ESPECIALLY CHEAP , THIN CABLES.. ALSO CHECK TO SEE THAT THE FACTORY ALARM IS NOT TRIPPED...  GOOD LUCK
