Possible reasons for non start after few weeks parked

[Nick]

car sits for 2 weeks, i go to drop off the car so my parents can get back, won't start

before sometimes it took a good 20-30 seconds before it went, but she just wouldnt' go

it turns pretty fast, like its got no resistance, i'm recharging the battery, then i'll check for spark, stupid seperate coils, other possibility is no fuel, which other than checking the pump fuse (done) i dont' think i can do much about

any ideas from you guys that store your cars?

after having the starter going for a good minute, she went

sounds like a weak battery or a possible parasitic draw

maybe the fuel drained out of the lines

ummm no, i pretty much drained the battery trying to start it, that's why i had to recharge


goes as good as that pos volvo 960 ever went, god damn that's a lemon

so the battery felt strong when u were initially trying to start it? was the engine cranking over? if it was cranking and then the battery started to drain it still sounds like a weak battery

lemme know

the car started, it works fine now,
