Why won't my 1999 Ford ranger start?

Hi, You need: -Ensuring keys used are programmed and communicating with transceiver for anti-theft system -Proper engine timing -Good compression in the engine -Fuel delivery -Ignition Spark -Proper air to the intake manifold -Emission control components working properly -Exhaust flow The fuel should be fresh; old fuel may require an additive or replacement. No way to know what you're not getting without checking each element. Also - why did the vehicle sit for 3 years? www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
