Someone stole your battery, a mouse chewed through your CPS harness, a pigeon pooped on your negative battery terminal, then ate your positive starter to battery wire after the battery burglar fried your fuel pump when he siphoned all your fuel.

Check for two things.
1) Fuel
2) Spark

Which ever one is missing, troubleshoot that system.

It's easy, really......

haha to above...lol.
How long does it take for fuel to get stale or old? I ask because after many attempts it started, that was a couple days ago. Today it won't start also. (It has been on jackstands about a month now.)

A month isnt that long as far as fuel goes.... you could add an additive to help stabilize the fuel but did you check the spark and fuel systems or are you looking for the magical solution?
