I was given a 2000 Ford Focus. She's got 103,000 and is pearl white. It's the 4 door sedan zts model running the vetek 2.0 motor. Here's the problem. The car has been sitting in a car port for two years now. It has one flat tire, and a dead battery. Those were the obvious problems. I bought a new battery and at the advise of others I cranked the car and it fired up! It was sputtering for about 5 seconds then died on me. I cranked it again and like magic the car sprang to life only to die a few seconds later again. Now, all attempts result in nothing but the sound of the starter cranking. I know the gas is old. The tank registers in at 1/4 full right now. How should I proceed? Did I clog up the injectors by running that old gas though it or do I just need to fill the tank with new gas, or even drain the tank and start with all new? The car is in pristine condition besides the problem mentioned above. Any help or advice is much appreciated!
