alot of times when cars set up for so long the fuel pumps go bad check and see if you hear them turning on. turn your key but dont try and start it and listen your should hear the pumps turning on sound like a humming sound,also check your fuel cutoff switch thats in your trunk

Was the car stored with fuel stabilizer in it before it was parked???If not the integrity of the gas has been compromised and you need to drain it, and run some fuel treatment with a new tank of fuel. I can almost guarantee its not the fuel pumps, but definitely change out the filter after you have drained the gas. Next time you store it, put a bottle of STABIL fuel stabilizer in it first. Works amazing.
