Cranks but doesn't turn over

Hi
i have a 1992 v8 Camaro RS. Its been sitting two years or so and I just put a new battery in, added some fresh gas (had about 1/4 tank in it) and it cranks but won't turn over. Don't know how long I should keep trying to see if it catches, I hear the fuel pump...have never primed it by putting gas directly into the TBI. Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Cranks but doesn't turn over

injectors may be stuck-pour a little gas down the TBIs and crank it-if it runs for a moment,probably stuck injectors.If the poured gas has no effect,check for spark.

Re: Cranks but doesn't turn over

Got it to start, REALLY rough while idling, some backfire (not much) am sure it's the old gas? Suggestions?
thanks

Re: Cranks but doesn't turn over

Are both injectors spraying? also you should remove and reinstall all the fuses in the fuse panel to reestablish good contact.
