K first off you had it sitting for 2 years? Did you bother changing the fuel filter? And what about gas that was in it? Gas can go bad after as little as 60 days and you're trying 2 YEAR old gas??? Run a fuel system cleaner through it now that you've pushed all that OTHER crap through the injectors. Also bear in mind: Sitting 2 years... Not run for 2 years... Maintaining pressure on the fuel lines AND the injectors for 2 years at approximately around 36 PSI. Eventually one is BOUNd to leak. Gas leaks into the intake, heads to a cylinder, sits there for a bit then works on down the piston to the oil. YES it is possible. It happens with Conquests and Starions all the time if there is a leaking injector.

First change the fuel filter, remove AS MUCH old fuel as you can and give her a good fill up with a good fuel system treatment. Now if you have a turbo then do an oil change with a semisynth run it 10 minutes at 2K till the t stat opens then let her cool down for 5 and drain and do another oil change. If you have an NA engine then run an oil system cleaner through it (Found at AZ or advance for about $3 and main ingredient is kerosene but it will break down the oil and the oil deposits). Run the 5 minute oil flush through and do your oil change. Now do a TB service by picking up a can of carb cleaner and an old toothbrush. Take the intake hose off and spray the butterfly valve liberally with carb cleaner. Now scrub BOTH side of it with the toothbrush. Wipe all the CRAP out with a rag. Put everything together and try starting it (Bear in mind it won't WANT to start for the first few cranks due to the carb cleaner just sprayed into the intake). Run it up to temp again then come back here and tell me how she runs.

Yes it has a fuel filter, when i got the car i took the tank out and cleaned it. When i put it in and put fuel in it i put lucas fuel system cleaner. There is a new fuel filter. Yes i have a turbo. It has a new intake with a K&N filter, it has all new vacume lines.

K then do the other stuff I recommended. DO NOT do the oil system cleaner. Some actually say on the bottle not for use with turbocharged engines. Due to the fact that they clean a little TOO well and then the bearings don't lubricate and it then fries itself.
