    You should have not started it in the first place without opening the engine. After 5 long yrs. pretty sure all the lubricating oil in the piston and rings are all dried up. Congrats, you have scratch the cylinder walls of your engine. The oil in the pan are very viscous and you might have only checked what's in the dip stick. Have a mechanic check it.

    Any troubleshooting tips?

    bayaan nyo na nagawa na nya ma start eh :-)

    To TS, isipin mo na lang na training ground mo yan para mag kalikot ng car DIY tapos lahat ng gagastusin mo is tuition fee.

    Madami ka coach dito

    Good luck and happy DIY

    Nobody is bringing it up so I’ll just ask for it... can the OP post a picture of the engine bay?

    I’m less worried with the engine being cranked before fluids were changed. Damage, if any, is negligible because there’s hardly any load applied to it and the motor surfaces isn’t totally devoid of oil even after 5 years. Ease up on the fellow and just focus on the elephant in the room.... which is the no-start condition. Don’t get me wrong... the OP should change out the oil eventually, but at this point, it’s not super critical that he does.

    I’d check the electrical systems for infestation or critter damage. Injectors may also need cleaning.

    Basta, pakita niya dapat agad sa qualified mechanic kung clueless siya on what and what not to do.

    same situation here, car is sitting for 2 years. Mga nagawa ko na emptied fuel tank, replace fuel filter, lubricated front brakes, bleed brake lines. Coming soon change oil, clean sparkplug, buy new battery, put some oil sa sparkplug hole to lubricate the cylinder wall, change/flush the radiator fluid, clean carburetor. Haaaaay dami pa

    Did you start the car first or replaced the parts right there and then?
    I think that is what majority of the people here would love to know.
