Car won't start

I have a TPI 89 formula 350 and it has been sitting in my driveway for almost 4 years. Just resently i have trying to get it started but the only way it would start is the starting fluid or sometimes it would just take a while to start on its own. Yesterday was not the case, it would not start at all, does anyone have any idea, could it be the computer or the maybe the fuel injectors went bad.

Please advise

Thanks

Re: Car won't start

Probably fuel just being crap would be my guess. Fuel supposedly is only technically only good for about 3 months from what im told. It functions as gas for a good while depending on what car its in but after 4 years i wouldnt have much confidence in it. Furthermore fuel has a nasty tendency to gum up and plug things like fuel injectors. Ide start with new gas then try a fuel pressure test and see what it turns up.
