Geo storm sometimes starts sometimes doesn't Replaced dis cap rotor plugs wires Car has sat over a year When it d oesn't start there is less pressure in gas tank then normal?

Fuel tanks dont have pressure in them. The hissing you hear is the tank sucking in air as you open the cap. Should the tank have pressure in it then the returning unused fuel is pressurizing the tank. Should the tank be pressurizing or If the hissing is particularly loud you might want to check the vent in your cap. The tank has to vent or else the fuel pump vacuums out the fuel to the point where it can no longer overcome the vacuum in the tank and the engine starves for fuel. You indicated it had sat for a year; if you didnt preserve it for storage, do a compression check on the engine to see if all of the cylinders are within 20 percent of each other.
