Default 1993 camaro won't start but cranks. Been sitting outside & -started in long time

1993 camaro won't start but cranks. Been sitting outside & -started in long time. Any suggestions? I can hear the fuel pump open. Trying to not have to take it to a garage before selling it. I bought it new in 93 but didn't have a place to store it except outside on the street. The paint is bad, too. I'm just sick. But need ideas for getting it to start. Would starting fluid work? It is a z28 with the LT1 engine.

If the fuel wasn't treated it's likely gone to varnish and plugged up the injectors and filter/s.
How long has it been sitting?

pull the fuel filter and check it out and replace with new one, smell fuel to see if it still smells like gas or if it has a varnish smell to it. also dump out from the tank side into clean container to see if its full of crap. if gas smells of varnish your gonna have to get it all outa the system. drain tank unhook injector rack and clean. pump good gas through system to there and hook it all back up.
