Default Help starting old Volvo 240

Ok, I have an 88 Volvo 240 sedan that doesn't get driven much anymore. I try to start it and at least drive around ten or 20 miles every couple of months, and haven't had any issues doing that for past 3 years. Until now.

Engine simply won't start. I've charged battery, and it turns over normally, just never seems to fire. I've added 5 gallons of fresh gas to tank. What else should I do?

If it used a carb, I'd spray some starting fluid in to at least get it running. Not sure what you do with an FI engine.

Thanks!
