03 P5 wont start after being in storage

[Geriatrix]

Hi, new to forums btw.

I took my P5 outta storage and needed to boost it for the first start, the battery was completely dead. anyway, it was turning over very very slowly and would not fire. The Fuel pump i could hear and i put sta-bil in it. Anyone have any advice?

if it was too slow it won't start, make sure your jumper cables are of decent gauge. May need to put a teaspoon of oil down the sparkplug holes. Drain the fuel lines and put in some fresh stuff.

How long was it in storage? Did you try removing the battery and having it tested? If it was already old, it might be just about time for a replacement.

I would suggest new fuel.
