My sable wagon won't start. It's been sitting 4-5 months, was runing fine before, has gas and oil. I tried to jump start and it turns over, but won't start. Any suggestions?

You might try charging the battery with a charger; battery probably too low for a jump start to be effective.

Try getting some fresh gas in the tank and give it a shot or two of ether. Old gas doesn't burn very good. If that doesn't work, pull the plugs and clean them up. Most of the time this will get the car going if nothing else is wrong.

[:)]if it was running good when you parked it, it probobly has some condesation/moisture some where in the ignition system.
check the plug wire/injector lead ends, if it has a distributor, check it.
with the humidity being as high as it has it has to be a moistuer problem.

Basics: Check for spark and or fuel lacking. You could prime the throttle body and if that reacted you know it's fuel related. Spark tested at a spark plug, wire to ground or with a tester,
