Exclamation No start Diags

I am sure this topic has been beaten death linke there is no tomrrow
Now, my stitution may be little different.
I have the car parked for 1 1/2 year. At that time I I fill the gas 3/4 full and took the battery out.
Today I cange the oil and oil filter. Put the New Battery. Start the car up It starts up fine drove around the block for a 1 min. Then I parked the car.
This evening I wanted to take car to emission shop, so I try start car, and pulled out from my parking spot, then car died!
After few tries, I gave up so I push the car back to my spot.
Then after few mins I try to start the car again, it didn't at first few times.
Then finally it started. I let it run for a minute. Then I gave little gas it rev up then died again.
I tried again but no go.
Engine will get crank but wont start.
Where do I start from ?

Pull one of the plugs and take a look...you might have some gummed up fuel since it was sitting so long.

Check that you are getting good spark to the spark plugs. Had the same thing happen to me after having the car sit at the body shop for 6 months. The book says that a weak spark is like a no spark. could be your cap and rotor with oxidation on the contacts.
