Check the battery. I have a 1991 that sat in a storage unit for two years. Dead battery. Bought a new battery and she fired right up!


The car has been left standing for 3 months and will not start no ignition light on the dashboard?

It is very common for the battery to discharge on a vehicle sitting idle for 3 months. First disconnect the positive + & negative- battery cables, and clean the battery post and cable connections off. Apply a thin layer of dielectric grease or Vaseline to the battery post and connect the negative - cable. Put a battery charger on the battery and let it fully charge overnight. If it will not accept a charge it is defective. It it does show fully charged, connect the positive + cable and see if the engine will start. if not, then more than likely the battery is dead and needs replacing.

What do you need to check if a car won't start after it has been parked for several months?

The first thing you want to check is your battery state of charge. If your car has been sitting that long, I can almost guarantee that your battery is dead. If it's been sitting that long, your best bet is to replace the battery.
