Angry my v6 wont start ( 25th anniv )

I have a 25th anniversary v6 Camaro and it was stopped for about 2 years and now I got it an it wont start. The battery is fully charged and when i turn the engine over the car seems like its going to start so if i take a little ethanol an spray it on the mouth of the throttle body it starts for about 2 seconds an dies, so i checked the injector on top of the throttle body an its dry. so i guess that means no gas is gettin to the throttle body....
I emptied out the old gas an put new gas so its not the gas...
what can i do ¿ what should i do ? and how ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿

did you put fuel stabilizer in when you parked it? 2 year old gas would probably do that... and im sure you havent completely gotten all the gas out, you still have some in the lines and filter and such.

Just a thought... dunno if its right or not.

id still think it is something with the fuel somewhere if u didnt have fuel stabilizer in there and it sat for so long, plus alot could go wrong in 2 years of not running

^ agreed. Theres a reason for fuel stabilizer. Any leaks under the car at all or anything?

theres no leaking nothing.... but if it was the gas being old the problem would'nt it still reach the injector but not explode ? or could it jus not reach it at all an how ?

Could be wrong, but if the gas set up too long it could be having some problems getting through the lines and filter, both from age and being bad. I would try some stabilizer like they said and maybe some good injector cleaner to put in the fuel. Just some ideas...not sure if they're right.

is the pump running? should hear a buzz when the key first turned on, if not start there, replace the filter and get the pump working and you should be ok
