Hi, I'm new to this forum, and was hopeing I could get some help. I have a
1989 XR7 that I bought new. Unfortunatly I haven't driven it for a few years the last time I drove it it ran great. Now it turns over fine but won't fire. Any one have any ideas where to start? When I think about it I think it has been about 8 years since it has been started. Has always been stored in a heated garage.
 
Does the upshift light come on when you turn it over with a high pitched tone?
 
Open the hood and look around. critters like to eat wires. If battery voltage is too low it may not start, even if it cranks.

Then start with the basics that apply to all internal combustion motors. Fuel and spark. Verify you have fuel. Verify you have spark. Don't have one, then that is what you need to fix.
 
Id drain fuel/refill, change fuel filter and do an oil change first. Of course check for fuel and spark then report back.
