What might be the cause of a (1986) 6 cylinder Fiero not wanting to start
after being left standing (with gas in the tank) for a few months?

The electrics seem OK and it will try to start if plus are removed and the
cylinders are given a shot of QuickStart.

Currently in the process of draining the old gas and refilling. But will the
old standing gas be likely to have fouled the feed lines, fuel filter and/or
injectors?

Any suggestions as to attack strategy would be appreciated.

Does the fuel pump run for a few seconds when you first turn on the key?
