car wont start after long storage
a little help please........
so i had to store my S at my uncles garage for an entire year while i was stationed in foreign country and i tried to start for tje first time after a 3 or 4 months since my uncle last started it and......... no start
yes i tried jump starting it with my uncles car and starter would crank a few times but seize up or stop cranking i tried to crank it maybe 4 or 5 times before i got scared to damage the engine
the oil was chance before i left it, there was about a little less than half a tank of gas that had treatment added to it and my uncle did say the car started last time about 3 or 4 months ago?????
one last detail...... i have greddy turbo kit on it
but that was running fine also?
any help or ideas?

Battery could be past dead. I would first try a new battery and see if it starts. If not, I would then start checking other items including wires (to make sure some critter didn't chew something).

i was thinking that also because i ended up changing my battery last year for tje same reason. the batter is only a year old but i guess without being ran at least once a month it went bad? im just affraid to buy a new one and not have my problem solved

A battery should never be allowed to go dead. Get a battery tender and keep it plugged in if your going away.
A new one will solve your problem. It will also be garbage if it is allowed to go dead again.

Did you try jumping it with the battery disconnected entirely? Car should run fine w/o a battery just using the alternator after a jump. I've had to do that in a pinch with a dead battery.
