The first thing I would try is this - while one person cranks the engine tap the injectors with a screwdriver handle. They get stuck close when not used for a long time. Most times it will fire right up.

Once the engine catches let it run for less than a minute. Then feel the exhaust ports and make sure all six are warm. If one is cold its injector needs more "convincing" I had the same issue with a 88 Carrera that had been sitting for several month.

Other sometimes "jolt" the injectors with 12 volts from the battery for less than a second. However, you need to know what you are doing. Too long and they can get damaged.
