This car has been parked w/o cranking/running for approx 1 year. Many reasons for this but all in all my dumbness.

The battery (when charged) will turn the engine but it will not catch.

My questions:

1. would draining and replacing the gas help?

2. would a gas additive help?

3. can I spray a starting fluid?

4. can a carbon build-up be a problem?

It is computer controlled and the car book indicates NOT to pump the acceletator.

I sincerely thank you for your help!

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
