Car won't start
I have a '91 TA 5.0 TPI. Car is bone stock original.
Always has run great the 5 years I've owned it.
Recently it sat for about 6 weeks without being started. Now I'm having all sorts of problems starting her up. Battery is fully charged. When I turn the key to the on position the drivers side fan comes on and the service engine light just keeps flashing. Car cranks but won't catch. When I try and pull codes, car won't even go in to diagnostic mode. Service engine light just keeps blinking. No code 12 or anything. Just keeps blinking. Any ideas? Does the fact that it won't go into diagnostic mode mean that ecm is bad? Any help would be appreciated!
