not starting after long hibernation
I've been asked what to do with a 2002 boxster that has been in storage for two years, and which doesn't seem to start. I'm told that it cranks, but that is all. I suggested towing it to an indy or dealer and having them try to diagnose it. I think that's sound advice, but thought I would also ask for any simple suggestions here. Any ideas? Note: this wasn't a carefully planned hibernation. The gas it has is just two year old gas, and apart from removing the battery, it got no special treatment while asleep.
