Apparently, the no spark problem is new since it ran on starting fluid already.
You need to also test for injector pulse using a noid light.

Fuel issue now as HT said. Hey - sitting for two years unless professionally stored (dry and indoors) absolutely will bring out problems of all sorts but wont know how many and what till you do get it running and can drive it. Do watch out for brakes with a car that sat so long and know in a safe area that you can assertively stop even if they feel lousy.
Whatever if anything done to the fuel in it either dump it or if it will run on it use it up fast for fresh fuel too. Other things as they happen are an unknown right now,

Need to follow the troubleshooting chart for the fuel system. This car is old enough to buy its own smokes and anything in the fuel system is suspect, especially with its hiatus from the road.

The man has no spark. I would still like to know if it has injector pulse and injector power.

Quick re-read. This thing did run with priming/starter fluid for a few seconds on first post so if now there is no spark also there's a wrench in the blender with this. Long storage has its price - trust me!
