Hey Everyone! I'm the new girl around here...

Good luck with the car. Most guys I know would bend over backwards to help a girl get her car going. Hope it works out.

 

HELLO NEW GIRL,

what college?

 

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but if it was running 15 years ago, remove old battery (if present) replace with a known good battery. Clean connectors until they shine before connecting them to the battery. If everything works you know that much works.
Then i guess you could see if the engine turns over. If not but the starter makes a loud clunk when the key is turned i guess you would have to take the spark plugs out and pour a little automatic transmission fluid mixed 50%/50% acetone down the holes with an oilcan. Let that soak for a day or so and see if the engine turns over better.

Just guessing at this.
