Default another problem

i had a srating issue with an escort rs turbo after refitting the turbo. the car has been stood for over two years. The engine which i thought was seized now turns over but it just wont start where should i start looking? When i initially started the car it idles fine and then when i gave it gas it just died. Any ideas anyone

i'd completely change the fuel, put fresh oil in and change the filter. two years is a long time for the to be sat, unleaded fuel starts going off after 60 days!
