Turns Over But Will Not Start.
I have a 1993 Chevy pick up which run fine last summer but I let it sit for about 11 months without a battery in it.
I finally bought a battery for it and tried starting it. It turns over but does not start. It has only been moved once since it sat and it is sitting flat. I Put some gas in it and it did nothing.

Spray some carb cleaner into the throttle body while you have a friend crank it for you. Spray it in spurts while they crank it. It may just be gummed up from sitting. If you can get it going once, you should be okay.
Be sure to spray it at arm's length. Carb cleaner is very flammable, so you don't want your face near the throttle body in case of a backfire.
If that doesn't work, add more gas. Your gas may be bad and have water in it. If you add enough new gas, you may be able to dilute any water in the gas enough to get it running. Or you can drop the tank and drain out all the old gas and try to start it with fresh gas.
If all else fails, replace the fuel filter. It could be clogged from the old gas sitting in it for almost a year.
