please help need my car started by tomorrow!

hey guys. i have had a 1991 firebird v6 auto since 2006. its been sitting for about 7 months. iv been tring to start it for 2 days now and its only started once.. and when it did start it would run and idle all by itself. now the only way to turn the motor over is underneath the car by the starter, can i fix this? anything i can put in the gas to make it better? how do i get my spark plugs out, my socket wont fit? what are common things to check? any tips? thanks in advance for any help

Yes..Purchase a starter
