OK, I am picking up a new toy soon. I know the old owner and its a legit car that ran great 7 years ago when stored and he moved away for work. It has a custom turbo set up, dyno tunes etc and ran great before being parked. The fuel tank was bone dry after the storage and he has thrown some fuel in and it cranks over but wont fire. Squirt a little in the plenum and it fires up a little. He said it appears to be getting fuel at the injectors, but if it's not that, any other ideas on what to go over first?
I will check fuel pressure once I get it to my place.

Re: FTO wont start after long storage
I think you are best just waiting until it's at yours and checking fuel pressure and verifying the injectors are actually working as they should.

Re: FTO wont start after long storage
yeah just thought I'd ask to see if there are any model specific issues to consider.
