I have a 1988 t-bird that has been in my garage for 8-10 years and has not been started for 8-10 years.I drained out the old fuel and replaced the fuel pump,the fuel filter,spark plugs,distributor cap and rotor and put in a new started.I put in fresh gas and some injector cleaner/isopropyl.The car turns over,wants to start but just won’t stay running,does any one have any sugestions or ideals?
