Help. Trouble starting
 
Okay, I tried to start my dads car that has been sitting in our driveway for six years. It's a 84 GSL SE. I put high octane gas in the tank after removing the gas . And starter fluid on the carburetor. I try to start it, but all it does is start for 2 seconds then dies. I did this and tried with two cans of starter, same results everytime. What should I do? Please help

gsl-se should be fuel injected? but in either case ive had a couple of sitters that ive gotten running / asuming the pulling doesnt work within a street length... ive had to flush out bad fuel in line and replace fuel filter -if all you did was pump out bad gas out of tank and fill her up you still have alot of poor quiality fuel to pump through engine ' other things to look for would be a coolant seal that went bad and letting in small amount of coolant check your plugs after each pull ..good luck and enjoy your ride

Well my dad says its the carburetor. And he took off the fuel injection for reasons he doesn't remember
