Question Sitting for a week, now wont start

My 95 with 194k miles has been sitting for about 3 weeks since I bought a new car. I started it about a week ago and let it idle for a bit and everything was fine.

I knew the gas level was pretty low but I have never ran out of gas in this car so I highly doubt that is what the problem is, especially since I got the 'ole gas can out and put some more gas in the tank.

I tried starting it yesterday and it will crank the engine fine but the car will not start. After driving it for 3 years with no related issues I think it is safe to say it is a new issue since I let the car sit for a few weeks. I am stumped though since it did start with no problems just a matter of about a week ago.

I haven't checked for a spark yet and I know there is fuel and I know it was running fine for years up until now. Is it possible the fuel just drained out of the fuel lines? If so, what procedure can I follow to get the fuel back in the lines up to the throttle body and EFI? Has anyone experienced this issue on a 1MZ-FE camry or avalon vehicle?

Thank you for any help and suggestions as they are much appreciated!

maybe when you put gas from the old gas can it was "old gas" and if so then that is your problem.. If you were low on gas and added old gas then the diluted gas will be tainted bad enough so that it won't start...Try to drain the gas and/or fill up with fresh gas...good luck and let us know what happens...
