1996 civic sedan sitting for 1.5 years

Hey there! I have 1996 Honda Civic LX thats been sitting for about a year and a half. It sort of cranks but wont start. Its a manual transmission, got a new battery, dont quite know what else to do, any suggestions?

Spray some Liquid Fire into the throttle body and try it then.

If its been sitting for that long then the fuel is bad. Best thing to do is to drain the fuel(properly into a proper container), and put a gallon of new fuel in the tank.
