I stored my car for the winter(still running when i put it away) over the winter I installed a new intake, hard ic pipes, and greddy type rs bov. I put fuel stabilizer in it befor i put it away also. I went the other day to start it up and get it out, but it wouldnt crank over. It would try to fire but not crank over. I bought new wires and plugs and it still wont start either. The oil was changed day before i put it away also. Any ideas on what could cause this?? please help!?!?
 
i wouldn't get too worried until you have tried different things. First is to jump your car or test your battery by bringing it to a local auto parts store (they usually do so for free).

If you go to an auto parts store they have a kit you can rent and bring home, it tests your starter, alternator and battery. Usually a deposite is required to take the unit home (which in your case you will have too).

Spark plugs would be my next item on the list to check. But take care of testing other items first. :thumb:
