If the battery has been sitting that long it might be toast. If the DME doesn’t have enough voltage it won’t work, plenty of cranky, no starty. If the battery spins the motor but no fire, try a jumpstart with heavy gauge jumper cables and a running car. The ECU needs a minimum voltage and a marginal battery might be enough to spin the motor, but not enough to start. Ask me how I know....
