[QUOTE="sath182, post: 1112179, member: 29607"] This may have happened on my 72k mile 2001. After finishing my European road trip, I let it sit for 2 months with a half tank. The final day of the trip was rain the whole way and I suspect some may have entered the tank. When I spun the starter, nothing worked even after holding the button for 15+ seconds and alternating full and 0 throttle. I ended up pulling all four plugs, torching them dry, and spinning the starter until no more fog/mist came from the plug holes. After that the motor lit using the prescribed method at about 1/3 throttle. [/QUOTE]
