I tried to enjoy the warm day yesterday in west, central New Jersey thinking
I would start up my car after its winter rest since last December.  I
couldn't start the car.  Here is what I did and checked:

1)  Used an oil heater to thin the 20W-50 weight oil that probably is like
    sludge after sitting in a cold garage.
2)  The engine cranked fine (until the battery ran down)
3)  There is fuel in the fuel bowl of the fuel pump.
4)  Pulled the spark plugs to clean them up a bit.

What next?  My guess is that I'm not getting a spark.  But what could have
happened?  The car was just sitting in my garage.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
