Are you sure you have gas in the tank?  One time I parked a car for an
extended time with the gas tank reading empty.  I figured it would be
pointless to put gas in and let the gas get old.  Then when I got around to
starting the car it took me awhile to figure out that the tank was empty.
It could also be empty from a leak at the bottom of the tank.
