I am not a mechanic. I do the basics, fluids, filters etc.

So the vehicle cranks but doesn't start.

What are the obvious things to check on a vehicle that hasn't been started for about 3 years ? Besides drain and replace gas.

I plan to:-

Check for sparks using a HEIspark plug tester.

Check fuel pressure.

???

 

Where was the truck parked for the last 3 years ?

I should have explained why I asked the parking question.

If the vehicle was parked where rodents were able to make a home, they like to eat wire insulation in hard to get to places like under fuse panel in engine compartment.
Intake duct work seems to be a favorite place for nest building , so we need to make sure they did not block the air cleaner intake.

I actually had a skunk living in a vehicle engine compartment of a vehicle that was started once a week. Go figure.

 

You may want to try starter fluid to confirm it's a fuel delivery issue...
