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
