Help Breathe Life into a '95 4.0
My Cherokee has been sat unused for around 5 years & I've finally decided to part with it. 
It hasn't been run at all in that time & although it turns over freely, there's no sign if it firing.
As someone with no mechanical aptitude whatsoever I'd appreciate some pointers as what to check & more importantly, how. There's no smell of petrol (sorry - gas!) in the engine bay even after sustained cranking of the starter. I guess one of the first things to establish is whether fuel is being delivered?
It's a UK RHD so please bear that in mind if referencing location of parts!
