I have inherited an '86 Camaro that has been sitting for about 5 years - with a full tank of gas that did not have a stabilizer added to it. Obviously won't start!
It's a 2.8L Multi Point Fuel Injected engine.
What steps would you recommend to get the thing cleaned up and running?

Hi:
You need to have the tank siphoned out. Also, disconnect the fuel lines to remove any old fuel. Replace the gas and it should run. You may need to replace the plugs if you have been trying to start it.
